UMID pulled out quite the suprise at IDF. A refreshed M1 called the M2 which fixes many of the problems of the M1. 1GB RAM, reworked casing, USB ports that don’t require a dongle and a headset port. The M2 will also be available in 1.2 and 1.6Ghz versions and includes an additional optical mouse on the screen frame. Planned for Q4 (Nov/Dec) timeframe. Note that this is a sample device and the final product may vary from what you see in the video.

Very, very promising! Will 7 make the 1.2 GHz version just a bit less viable though?
I can hardly wait to see a retail unit reviewed.
Just put Moblin on that thing and it’ll run like a charm.
This will definitely be my next MID! But I hope they will include 3G as well.
johannes, first of all: pls. buy yourself new glasses, will you! horrible ones!
@tsetse: Good news for you: I lost these glasses in taipei @ Computex :)
But I really liked them!
Now I use the glarewear (i also raffle a pair of them right now): http://bit.ly/FpR0i
oh, jeez!
shure you can´t get back the old ones! ;)
@ tsetse : And I think it’s about the UMID M2 here and not about my sunglasses….
everything´s connected with everything else, you know! ;)
of course.
And do you like the UMID M2?
no, too big this is; gadgets like these have to be really pockatable, like my iphone, which is sufficient to me!
Weight?
Does it have video out?
That would make a great hackintosh!
Sounds amazing. How’s the hard drive?
when its coming? Any news, really want one, like now.
