dmedia G400 with WiMAX: MID or PND?

Apparently the dmedia G400 MID was announced at the WiMAX Expo in Taipei back in June, but this is the first we've seen of it, and solid information is still a little hard to come by. The device will boast a 800 x 400 touchscreen, WiMAX, HSDPA / WCDMA, and GPS radios, a microSD slot, and will come in both 3.8-inch and 4.3-inch configurations. From what we could glean, the system with run atop a SiRFprima CPU, though we haven't seen a lot (say, any) of MIDs using those chips. So, is this actually just a glorified PND? It's hard to say, but we hear the units will hit retail sometime in the beginning of 2009, though we don't know how much they'll cost or where they'll be available.

I could be a douche and post "first"

Im wondering if the microSD slot on this bad boy will be compatible with he 16gb ones?

the*

by even mentioning iEye you have propelled yourself into douche status

.... the g400 looks used and scratched on the bottom? or is that the lighting

[BlurMagic @ Nov 17th 2008 12:00PM]

Ah. Bob the English major. The sad thing is, you acknowledged that you know who iEye is. Which would in turn, make you a douche also.

On a lighter note, yes, the phone does look scratched.

N810 wannabe?

[ProfessorKaos @ Nov 17th 2008 2:17PM]

MID = Mobile internet device
PND = portable navigation device?

[liv @ Nov 17th 2008 3:00PM]

@bob sakamano

yeah it really does look very scratched, i hope thats not just with normal use, if it is they need to re-think whatever they have coated it with

[wimaxed @ Nov 17th 2008 4:55PM]

There is another MID available early 2009. http://www.wimaxed.com/ has the latest pictures and the specs. The best part, it works with the new mobile wireless technology WiMAX.

looks cool wonder how much it'll cost, could use an upgrade to my nokia n810.

Wonder how it'll do as a pmp and gps device, something the n810 wasn't so good at.

If the iPhone and PSP had a baby, it would look like that.
