Or more importantly, do you even care? One quick glance over at WiBrain's website will leave you searching to no avail for any traces of the
i1, and while it's a shame we might not ever see this hardware package mass produced, we can't say we're terribly surprised. We mean, really, how many of your nerdy friends have saved up for one of these unwieldy UMPCs over, say, a netbook or the like? If the i1 really puffed its last breath
at IFA, at least we can say we went to its farewell party. Ah well,
onward and upward, right?

Update: The unit is still
hanging around on WiBrain's German website, which possibly explains its IFA presence. Maybe it's being reserved for a Europe-only introduction? Thanks, xtron!

Check out the german site of WiBrain, more details can be found there, although no shipping option.
Note that the site is a mix of english and german.

Not my cup of tea, with FUGLY looks like that, I will wear a paper bag over my head to avoid seeing it.

I think most people on here would prefer you wear a paper bag on your head while posting. It would probably improve the quality of your posts.

I never liked it when it first came out. Why do manufacturers prefer to go backwards and not forward when creating new technologies. Get rid of all the buttons already!!! And those people who still prefer buttons are afraid of change and are slowing down technology growth. Screw all you button pushers!!!
