The psion has a far far better keyboard than this- I have mine and my friends right here right now. ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE, so yes indeed chippy does not remember! And so should not be relied upon to comment. This UMID has got all the new goodies, but it does not even use its real estate, theres more room for a great keyboard and a 6 inch screen on the SAME case, please now lets get to reality. Steve/Chippy,

(and no webcam on this the cheapest model) Plus if you want to be legal add the cost of a copy of XP OEM about another £50. Mine cost £428.17 + Customs fee and Courier customs handling fee.

If I remember, it is said it runs Windows XP? It really would be an upgrade comparing to a windows mobile 5.0 Only problem is that I didn't see the price of this little pet. Can you write down how much it costs? This little toy is a perfect changeover for my old MDA Vario. If I remember, it is said it runs Windows XP?

(Tell me to shut up if you have heard too much from me) Cheap plastic, yes but doesn't appear to fall apart and looks fine. Broken hinge, I have not found it too much of a problem, it goes back the right amount to hold it in your hands. If you put it on a desk you find yourself needing a high desk, coffee table is a problem. Mouse, get a tiny one and plug it in, or the touch screen is excellent. BT and Wifi interconnected, I don't know how much more battery life you would get by switching one of them off, but I have not been able to flatten the battery in a day with normal use. No usb, not true, miniplug usb with adaptor of you can use a cable and a female to female adaptor. or make your own cable. no mic input, try this, SL300 USB Studio Microphone, it's bigger than the mbook! No 3.5mm out, not entirely true adaptor supplied, but it is big and ugly. I want to buy one of the plugs realy and make a cable with an inline socket. 512MB ram works fine due to fast SSD memory for swap file. Storage space, well I'm just about running out with office 2007 and Portable Ubuntu on here as well, but ordered an 8GB mini SD card. Price, too much I agree, but not compared to OQO-2 which is half as good IMHO. Now for my bad point no VGA out, and I'm struggling with the USB to VGA adaptor I bought.

That had by far the smallest yet best touch type keyboard even to this day. The M1 looks cool, I would love to a longer version that was made for touch type NOT thumb input. I remember the Psion 5mx!

Looks like the 32GB version is as fast as the 16GB version on read but much slower on write which would probably make quite a difference in general use (although is probably acceptable if you haven't used the 16GB version!) Steve Thanks Ghiora.
