Here’s a very early look at the Quanta MID. I haven’t analysed it yet. (ports, cam, etc etc) but will get detailed hands-on later. YouTube video is crunching as I type this so if it doesn’t play, give it a few minutes and try again.

This looks sooooo sweet. Update: This is UMPC history from 2009. This product never reached the market.      

We’ve been following the interesting developments of the CrunchPad, which aims to bring an intuitive and inexpensive web tablet into the hands of consumers. When it was first announced, the idea seemed wild, but as time goes on, the CrunchPad is looking better and more concrete every time we hear about it. Previously we’ve seen an earlier prototype of the CrunchPad on video, but we are now seeing for the first time, an all new, beautiful looking device that TechCrunch says is almost ready for production. They moved to an […]

It seems that Asus is trying to push their touch oriented software hard; we’ll see if it is really useful or just shows off the touchscreen, eventually. […]

We pointed you to James Kendrick’s video overview of the upcoming Viliv X70 UMPC, but now he has a great gallery, including shots of the impressive looking case, and some additional impressions of the unit over at jkOnTheRun. The more I see this device, the more solid and awesome it looks. If only they could squeeze a keyboard on there somehow…. Seems like it would work great for around the house browsing, and James says he loves it already as an e-book reader.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the prospect of Android being employed full time as a netbook OS. It looks like Acer is taking one of the first big steps and officially stating that they will bring an Android running netbook to market in Q3 according to Acer’s head of IT products, Jim Wong. Acer has been showing an Acer Aspire One D250 [Portal page] around at Computex with Android as the OS. They are saying that this isn’t the actual product, but just a test platform. […]
