This is no confirmation that the device is being further developed or that it will be launched but at least we'll be able to highlight it, analyse it, get a response from the readers and have it all out in the open so that Wibrain and their parent company can try to analyse the potential market. The Wibrain B1 appeared to be a reasonable seller and if the i1 inmproves on it and keeps the value pricing model there's no reason to believe that it won't sell well globally. Expect formal announcement of live session (of course!) later today. Steve. Update:

I`ve been waiting for this device since August. I really love my B1 and the form factor. Just a little bit more power and it would be perfet! I really hop that the i1 is going to be available soon.

Now gives us more umpc goodness. Thanks Holly for the healthy status update in Korea for the Wibrain, which gives me hopes for both the company and that they stand for the umpc concept after all, so maybe they'll keep away from the netbook concept that I dislike so much but seems so prevalent Awesome news.
