That might just be the camera angle though.

I'm not a hater, and I'd give it a try.]]>Aug 21st 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/
Still don't really see a big use for devices like this given the cheap price that devices like the EEE and AspireOne can be had.

If this is reasonably priced, and has a usable keyboard and pointer interface, it might be more worthwhile.

But I think it will be trumped by devices like the Gigabyte M528 which have better screen to overall size ratio and are probably significantly lighter. ]]>Aug 21st 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/

Or is this another case of MS stealing their look and feel from Apple? (I honestly don't know, I haven't looked at Vista at all, no need/desire to)

Maybe not to fat, and maybe a different layout for the buttons on the shoulders.


But, that said, if it has a comfortable feel for the keyboard, an HSPA modem option, ubuntu mobile, and decent battery life... I'd probably buy it.]]>Aug 21st 2008 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Oh, and, a tilt screen.]]>Aug 21st 2008 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 21st 2008 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Lame.

Screen is only .7 inches larger than a Nokia N810, which does fit in a pocket. (And anyone who has VNCed into Vista from that will realize that running an OS designed for desktops is not fun on such a screen).

Not that the power isn't there, but I too really don't see the point. This is not what an MID should be, yet it seems to be all we're getting.
What the hell is going on here?!]]>Aug 21st 2008 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/
The main thing to note about this is that the 4.7" screen is 1024x600, a bump up in resolution. I'd like that quite well, and I _think_ this is still pants-pocket size.

It looks like a clean scale-up of the N800 as far as bezel/speaker/dpad region, so the whole thing should be about an inch longer, maybe 2x thickness, and a smidgen wider. Pocketable, if I'm right.

My big issue is guaranteed to be the battery life. But go ahead and prove me wrong, WiBrain.

They did say XP/Linux, I don't know of such a thing for Linux, and it's hard to imagine they're running Vista on it for no good reason.]]>Aug 22nd 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 22nd 2008 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/Aug 22nd 2008 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/is-this-wibrains-atom-based-m1-mid/http://digg.com/design/Any_languages_keyboard]]>Sep 25th 2008 2:36AM
