Compal MIDs (Aigo, M528 etc)

UMID MID even has 1024×600 !

Now I won’t disagree that these resolutions on this 4.8″ screens are not the most practical but I have my doubts if Intel would’ve said that since a good portion of the devices they are promoting at their own devices, are just that POCKETABLE and 800×480 or HIGHER!

And you can’t help but think 3rd party vendors could make it even smaller because the secondary chip for Moorestown is much more compact than the Poulsbo chipset. While the Poulsbo is more than 2x larger than Menlow, Langwell and Lincroft will be similar size to current Menlow chip.

Battery life and heat: Though Poulsbo is the lowest power using Windows compatible chipset out there, it can be even better. It’s at 130nm process technology and with Moorestown, the graphics/memory controller will go into CPU as 45nm. The Langwell I/O chip will probably be using smaller lithography at 90nm or even 65nm.

Performance: The graphics will be upgraded to SGX540 series and Intel presentations put the graphics performance increase at ~50%. On the CPU side, it’ll use the Atom, but using integrated memory controller will help. Pretty much I’d think 20-30% increase per clock is possible at top-end Netbook configuration, and clock speeds are also supposed to increase.

Both this and the Lenovo Pocket Yoga (linked above) are as long as a more traditional phone, making for a slightly more comfortable phone experience for us older types. But they would be more “jacket inside breast pocket” pocketable than “jeans pocket” pocketable. I think that might be my one reservation — I don’t need this device to be my netbook, my netbook needs to be bigger. But I do want a pocketable to be “pocketable”. So I’d have to see if this really would fit comfortably in my pants/shorts front pocket.

Though, I wonder if, using the new flexible oled screens, if you could make the Moorestown X fold in half length wise (in either direction), giving you a short touchscreen device or clamshell when closed, and this elongated device when open.

Moorestown is unlikely to be smaller.OEMs have already started sampling a credit-card sized motherboard for the Menlow platform:

Performance is unlikely to increase. The only benefits will be less heat and longer battery-life. But a credit-card sized Menlow-phone will be much cheaper than the Moorestown version and clocked at 800mhz let’s say, it won’t give out much heat anyway.
