Chuwi's W3000 MID comes to life, likely matters not

After spotting renders of this here device last week, we have to say -- the real Chuwi W3000 MID is a looker. Boasting an ARM processor, GPS module, support for MP3, WMA, OGG, AVI and RMVB files (among others) and a built-in WiFi chip, this touchscreen beauty is tailor made to deliver the best of the web without a keyboard. Oh, except for the teeny, tiny fact that someone thought to equip this with WinCE 5.0, thus eliminating any chance whatsoever of it being relevant. Too bad, really.

Although it is WinCE based, there is some indication that Chuwi may make available resources, like bootloader etc to help those that want try and load a linux platform onto the device.

Ubuntu's netbook respin would be great on this thing and totally free, why would you pay to put a 3 legged dog called WinCE on this thing.

When I first glanced at the device in the picture, I thought the brand was "CHUM"

Bait and switch?
