If Inbrics really can bring the M1 to market for $200 then we’re looking at a very good value MID/Phone but somehow I get the feeling that the mention of $200 was really a ‘CES Press Special’ i.e. whatever you say in Vegas, stays in Vegas! The market could bear $300 for something like this so there’s no reason it would launch at such a low price.
A capacitive 800×480 screen on Cortex with a full implementation of Android along with a nice design and that productivity-helping slider keyboard makes this a ‘must watch’ device. We would have like to have seen a larger screen for real high-end usage and we wonder how long this device will look ‘high-end’ considering the pace that new high-end smartphones are entering the market but it’s interesting all the same.
Here’s a video of the device at CES a few weeks ago.
Thanks to Netbooknews for ‘helping hands’ on this video.
$200?! gimme gimme gimme!
that keyboard looks painful to use tho, and that odd port could be DMB, basically the video version of DAB.
Looks interesting. What screen size? That with a 4.1″ screen and T-Mobile-USA 3G could be quite compelling.
Though, I’d prefer it to have a dpad on the face. Otherwise, looks good. (similar to turn.self.off, though, I’m concerned about the keyboard feel)
