WiBrain M1 UMPC gets more real, but still not completely real
WiBrain's M1 has seen a pretty rocky road to launch since it first arrived on the scene way back last summer, but it looks like the company is finally moving forward with it, and reportedly kicking the UMPC into production. Despite its extended stay in prototype form, however, there doesn't appear to be too many changes to the device, with it still packing a 4.8-inch 1,024 x 600 touchscreen, along with an Atom Z520 processor, up to 1GB of RAM, a max 16GB SSD, and all the connectivity options you'd expect, plus some (presumably optional) HSDPA. The one big change from the early prototype is the slide-out QWERTY keypad, which now opts for some membrane-style keys that could make an already difficult typing situation even tougher. No word on a price or expected release date just yet, but it seems likely that it'll remain a Korean exclusive, at least initially.[Via jkkmobile]
WiBrain M1 reemerges as EKING M1, still rockin' the uglies
You've got us -- the M1 is far from the most unsightly product to ever sport the WiBrain logo, but even this pig (seriously, this thing is chubby) looks no better post-lipstick. After appearing and vanishing in one fell swoop, the EKING M1 has surfaced in China with a 1.33GHz Atom Z520 processor, built-in WiFi, optional WWAN, a battery good for six hours of usage, GPS, a TV tuner, camera and a full QWERTY keyboard. We can't give our wholehearted recommendation on purchasing one from Made-In-China.com, but feel free to check out lots more in the wild shots below.[Via Pocketables]
