Hard to believe but after three years (
almost to the day) a MID / UMPC running a Microsoft OS with a $500 MSRP is finally out for retail. Trigem's LLUON mobbit is available in two configurations of which the lesser lists for KRW699,000 or about $490. A KRW799,000 ($560) presumably
adds the listed WiBro spec for Korean style WiMaxing. That meager sum takes home a 13.2-ounce box o' XP with 1GB of memory, a 30GB disk, 4.8-inch 1,024 x 600 touchscreen with stylus, Bluetooth, WiFi, and 2 megapixel camera all riding Intel's Atom Z520 processor. Not bad... not beautiful by any stretch but significant enough to elicit maniacal behavior amongst devoted UMPC fanboys everywhere.
Update: It appears that the WiBro model is actually the cheaper of the two. The lower price resulting from a
required 18 month subscription.

The guy on the right looks like he just caught the biggest invisible fish evar.
Since it's invisible, I can't really tell if you're right, but judging by his facial expression, I think he's just begging for candy:
"Gimme you candy, come on, my mouth is wide open. throw it, throw it to me. just cause I'm nuts, don't mean I don't want candy. CANDY!"
I dunno about fish, but he is aching for a "HEY I SELL PROSTITUTES!!!" speech ballon beside him :p
I never really got the blonde asian look
Those guys are on a comedy show in Korea, I had a foreign exchange student who always had it on. I watched it without subtitles, its all in Korean, and still laughed my head off. The blond guy is hilarious.
ROFLwaffle!
Sorry, that was meant as a reply to eggothewaffle.
Just make sure you put some awesome sauce on your roflwaffle.
However good that thing is, it's never going to be as good as that picture
This, my friend, is a fact.

Come to SK and see those guys ALL OVER the place! They're pretty funny.
surely SK stands for Slovakia!
...kidding!
Interface looks strangely familiar to the Cowon O2's...
i don't know what it is...but i want it.
Lloun and Mobbit! China's WACKIEST comedy duo!
What part of Korean did you miss?
Isn't that MC Yoo?
Funny guy ^__^
Great news for South Korea... but What about the US????... I could probably get a cousin or an uncle to buy me one over there...but I want to go to a website or a store and Buy one... Grrrrr. We would like a $500 dollar MID... not a $1000 or $1800 with all the necessary extras...
I don't know why WiBro is funny, but it is. I think it means we're officially out of wireless spec acronyms.
I'm waiting for WiFe the Wireless tech that uses the magnetic properties of iron to attract signal.
The guy on the left reminds me of Bill something guy in the Gates family..
Maybe it's just my eyes.
Cannot unsee!!!
they cant be GAYER!... not that thats a bad thing
I want that.
first thought: "they like to mobbit mobbit."
two of the best korean entertainers these days.. i think the one on the left won multiple awards this year.
I can't help but see these guys as a Korean version of the old "Wild and Crazy Guys" sketch Steve Martin used to do on SNL.
I'm gonna pully out my Joey Tribbiani vests from the back of the closet... they are back in style again BoyEEE!
Maybe this product isn't from Japan, but I love this poster anyway and it seems apt: http://www.1984web.com/img/funny/posters/countries/japan.jpg
Wow...Trigem. I had no idea they were still around. Hope their MIDs are better than the hard drives they used to make.
Dating myself here, I know.

Yes, that is popular MC, Yoo jae Suk & the blonde guy is comedian, Noh hung chul who was attacked & stabbed by a rabid fan last year.
