Hopefully it'll keep getting cheaper. I'm happy with 4GB Flash. The base Aigo is still 550 Euros once I’ve been robbed by the tax and customs people. Hopefully it’ll keep getting cheaper.

I'm glad that I did not believe it and did not buy one. Even if this time it is true, it is too late as the UMID M1 is at the corner. They said “next week” 6 months ago.

Finally! A USB 2.0 port is a must for me and that is why I won't even consider either the UMID M1 no matter how awesome it looks and I have chosen to stay away from touchscreen keyboards so the Viliv S5 is out of the question, which leaves me with the Aigo, a great device. I wish I could load XP and have working wifi right now so that I can read my emags. If it wasn't for that reason then I wouldn't mind sticking with linux. The OQO is a great device to, I had one before, only reason Idon't have it now is because it broke so often. All I can say is YES! Finally!

Without it the only way to use XP is with a stylus. And another Micro SD slot would be nice. And better battery life. I don’t suppose they’re putting a mouse control on this, are they?

So, if you're in the U.S. and like this unit, you will have to buy international. As far as the Viliv S5, it's a no go for people like me who refuse anything without a tactile keyboard.
