I'd like a netbook that size, instead of MID.]]>May 10th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.arm.com/community/display_product/rw/ProductId/2644/]]>May 11th 2009 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 10th 2009 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 10th 2009 7:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 10th 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 10th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/I love the formfactor. I could see this type of device taking a bite out of the netbook market - for most people they don't do a lot of typing, so what's the point of wasting all that space on a keyboard? As long as it's powerful enough to run the most basic of apps and of course run a good browser these type of device should be very hot... and the price of this one is great.

Unfortunately I don't see this particular device being fast enough, but hopefully competitors see this and also enter this market with better products.

(Hey Apple, are you seeing this?! Where's your tablet-ish PC?)]]>May 10th 2009 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/ the lack of keyboards on the original umpcs was seen as crippling. even for basic stuff such as commenting or searching the lack of keyboard can become annoying . ]]>May 10th 2009 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/
Take an iphone, make it bigger, remove the phone part.

I see your point, and personally I agree with you, but millions of iphone users manage ok with no keyboards, so its hardly like it hasn't taken off...]]>May 10th 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/
UMPCs were never as cheap as $190. If this device has decent performance, with a usable on screen keyboard, I can definitely see it being successful]]>May 10th 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 10th 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/
While yes, I am being optimistic, sometimes market-forced have to build up enough steam and technology has to advance enough to make a product do-able and accepted by average consumers. With the introduction of the iPhone & iPod Touch, it looks like every other manufacturer is jumping on the touchscreen bandwagon. I think a tablet PC is a perfect evolution of that technology... when Apple came out with the Newton, the technology was way underdeveloped and no consumers knew what to think of the product.

(and this is coming from someone that really is no fan of touchscreens - I personally think the lack of tactile feedback makes using a touchscreen awful, but for surfing the internets, I think it's the bestest way to go)]]>May 10th 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/
Heck, the iPhone isn't much faster than that, and yet I want one.]]>May 10th 2009 10:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 11th 2009 1:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 11th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/
So I just traded in my Mazda RX-8 for a 2006 Cadillac CTS-V and wanted to put a new stereo in it. Looked at those Panasonic and Alpine motorized in-dash DVD players but their touchscreen responsive-ness and price were just horrible. So I dove into the whole Internet media and MID market and right now Archos's 5 &7 series Internet-Media Tablets are the best cuz they support almost all the good file formats/codecs especially h.264 and FLAC and I wanna output such things [along with music videos] to 2 headrest monitors in the back seats. Archos has a couple docks with video [S-Video/Component/HDMI] out capabilities but I also want to control the volume and next/previous track buttons on the steering wheel. How the HELL would I go about doing this? I know Bluetooth A2DP has a profile where u can control playback with a remote but I'm not 2 sure. I definitely wanna go with a setup like this cuz not only can I use the Archos as a GPS and Audio/Video source in the car, but I can use it outta the car as an Internet Media Tablet. Is there any other setup you guys have in your car? Should I wait for some other MID's like such to come into the mainstream market or what? Lemme know-Thanks.]]>May 11th 2009 1:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 11th 2009 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 11th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/May 11th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/10/smartq-7-internet-tablet-spotted-in-the-wild-priced/same hardware and system
