Remember when we told you last week that General Dynamics was planning a Flipstart-like device? Well its now official, and has the (uber-creative) name of GoBook MR-1.
The MR-1 has a 1.2GHz Intel Core Solo processor, and an 80GB hard drive with 16GB and 32GB SSD options offered. Also available by year’s end will be integrated WWAN options. The device meets MIL-STD 810F specifications for temperature, drop and vibration tests, and also IP-54 specifications for dust and humidity. Unfortunately the price, a steep $4,450, is high enough to even scare away people like Hugo Ortega (and he owns over 17 tablets and UMPCS!).
Don’t worry if you want one though, you’ve got till September to save up as that’s when the device becomes available.
