please tell me this is some horrible typo.]]>May 13th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/
Maybe you should quit reading gadget sites and stick to ebay...]]>May 13th 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/
What market is this little guy competing with exactly, that old ultraportable category with the likes of the samsung Q1? Maybe I'm just not understanding the segment this is aiming for, or the actual size of it - If its an Eee, a full laptop, or this thing, it's still probably not fitting in my pocket.

@Rebajas -

I was hoping for something like $300.

Other than that, I guess I'm just a little bitter with this whole netbook, nettop category altogether, As $600 buys a decent laptop or a fully-featured desktop...]]>May 13th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/
So go post on an article about a netbook then. This is a 4.8-inch touchscreen (1024 x 600) based machine - you did *read* the article didn't you?

And this stagnant comparison of netbooks Vs full size machines misses the point. Compare size not ability... I *can* buy the latter but I wouldn't take it anywhere.]]>May 13th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/
I guess this machine just isn't quite as appealing to me as Always Innovating's Touchbook. Seems like the price was right, battery life is grand, and is ideal for most uses of netbooks (internet surfing, minor word processing)

Is a 4.8" screen really big enough? I suppose the resolution is in line with what it should be, I just feel like text would bee too hard to read.]]>May 13th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/
this being compared to netbooks is ridiculous.

"why should i pay that much when i could buy 2 tonnes of elephant dung for the same price" ]]>May 13th 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/
Seen the Touchbook - tis nice, though I haven't seen anything other than the renders. The Touchbook is still closer to a netbook than this though.

Your second comment is valid though - running XP on a screen that small sounds plain silly. And the res at that size is also mad, having recently looked at the Sony things screen.]]>May 13th 2009 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 13th 2009 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/13/umid-m1d-making-its-way-to-korea-any-day-now/May 14th 2009 6:49PM
