Mtube, one of the reasons that I finally decided to resurrect Carrypad to cover Internet gadgets and devices, is looking very interesting over at the UltraMobileLife blog today.
As I suspected, its got a small VGA screen and according to another report that came through DigiTimes, it runs Linux.
It weighs 150gm and has 4 hours battery life which is frankly, quite amazing. Almost unbelievable as the battery cant be more than 10wh in capacity meaning that the whole device would be running at an smartphone-class average of 2.5w.
This has to be the first x86-based personal mobile internet device doesn’t it? But what is it? Obviously its tailored towards online media but there’s 12 icons on the screen there. Its going to be an iPhone-like icon guessing game until we get the promised videos from the UltraMobile life team.
[Update: In my excitement, I missed the gallery. I can see icons or gaming, DVB (TV) youtube search, RSS, media, some form of location-based info app, images but no web browser.]

the icons i wonder about is the top right one, the puck and what appears to be a VNC icon (right next to what i suspect is a cellular/mobile connectivity icon)
