The MIDs and UMPCs of SXSW

Posted on 14 March 2009 by



Jeff, our man from Intel arrived with a few MIDs and UMPCs. Below the video you’ll find an overview of the devices we have with us here.

UMID M1 [detailed info] running WIndows XP on a 1.3GHz Atom. One of the smallest computers in the world and truly pocketable. With the touchscreen and storage, this is turning out to be one of the best devices to have while you’re waiting in line at SXSW.

Compal/ Gigabyte M528 [detailed info] is the one to have when you’re out and about and away from the SXSW hotspots. With 3G and the full, fast browser, looking up schedules, checking email and staying in touch over instant messaging services couldn’t be easier.

ClarionMind [Detailed info] will probably be finding a place in the Tech Cab.

Benq S6 [Detailed Info] is the bargain of the bunch. Nice UI, fast browser, good video playback qualities and built-in 3G. This one is retailing for under 300 Euro in Europe.

Viliv S5 [detailed info] is perfect for web and media consumption. Read feeds, watch videos and update twitter on the device that has over 6 hours of continuous in-use battery life.

Fujitsu U820/U2010 [detailed info] It’s ‘Tokidoki’ styling disguises what must be one of the most technically advanced UMPCs to date. Hi-res rotating screen, fingerprint reader, FM transmitter and long battery life. This is probably the most productive of the bunch (and the one I used to create and edit the video and post here)

OQO Model 2+ [detailed info] Up there with the Fujitsu as a power-house of a UMPC. 1.8Ghz processor and OLED screen running Windows Vista. High quality slider keyboard and built-in 3G.
