As Sumocat has already pointed out, the results are hardly surprising. If you want to buy a MID in the US, you have to search very hard indeed. ARS Technica took a list (supplied by Intel Marketing) of MIDs available in the U.S.  and went on a search. The list of device list was hardly complete… Archos: 9″ Tablet Clarion: MiND Fujitsu: U820 Panasonic: U1 Toughbook, H1 Toughbook UMID: m1 Yukyung Viliv: S5, X70EX There’s only one place on the internet you’ll find a complete list of all UMPCs and […]

A couple of interesting points come up from this Techcrunch article. Its something I wrote about when the Dell 12 first came out. Dell are now discontinuing the Mini 12.

I think most of us realize at this point that netbooks have gone mainstream. While most consumers probably still couldn’t tell you the difference between a netbook and a more powerful, full fledged laptop, that hasn’t stopped companies from taking advantage of the term ‘netbook’ as a buzz word. Case-in-point, Comcast and Verizon are now both offering deals which provide their customers with a ‘free’ netbook. Each company offers a different netbook to new customers: Verizon has teamed up with HP owned Compaq to provide the Compaq Mini 110, which […]

If these images (twittered by Mark Guim but as yet, unpublished on the TheNokiaBlog that he runs) are real then it looks like the rumoured specifications of the Nokia Rover that Mobile Crunch wrote about in May are true too. The RX51 product code appears on the box and on the device and match the FCC filing we reported on earlier today. Sizings and details match up apart from the camera cover. Update: Images are sourced from Mobile Bulgaria. Click for more! Rumoured specs go along these lines: Dimensions: 59.7mmx111mmx18.2mm […]

Engadget report with some excitement yesterday that there could be a new Nokia Tablet coming. A device has been spotted at the FCC with the codename is RX51, an ID that has already been seen in Maemo kernel builds. There’s a huge Nokia N900 thread over at Internet Tablet Talk covering this. Many are hopeful that its the real deal. Others are talking about it being simply a new phone. The diagram is pretty much all there is to go on right now apart from the fact that it’s got, […]

Reader ‘Genghis Khent’ got his Viliv X70 EX yesterday (nice pic Rosa!) and has been busy. He’s been optimising the build in preparation for an upgrade to XP Tablet Edition and looking for a set of drivers to use. Yes Genghis, they’re missing from the Viliv site. I contacted Viliv though and they’ve told me that they will be available in 1-2 weeks. Strange that they’re not ready when the device is shipping already but maybe Viliv want to wait until they are sure there are no issues before putting […]

‘The T1028X is available and nobody seems to notice it’ says Hellion151 in a recent forum entry. He’s right. The Gigabyte Touchnote T1028M appears to have been superseded (my netbook is officially ‘old’ now) by the newer version of the Touchnote. The T1028X. Key features of the new model are: Increased resolution to 1366×768 which reduces finger usability but increases screen real-estate. N280 processor. Slightly faster at 1.66Ghz (faster FSB too.) There aren’t many netbooks out there with this processor option. 6-cell (54wh) battery as standard. Increased Price. Mobilx have […]
