		<description>Apparently, it never occurred to Bacher to ask why Iran and North Korea would attack the West, since it would mean their immediate annihilation, nor inquire into what possible motivation either country could have to lob missiles at the West. ,</description>

		<description>Bought a UMID unseen on Ebay; I have owned a number of OQOs, most of which have gone up in smoke or been dropped. I had resorted to an Asus 701 to take to Hospital every day, but the UMID fits in my jacket pocket, is smaller than my wallet/diary and the battery lasts all day.

The mini-usb socket works with an adapter lead got on Ebay (rather than use and lose the supplied dongle) to read memory sticks and an HSDPA dongle, although I would not trust it to supply 0.5 amps for an external drive or charge a phone.

The ONLY shortcoming is no VGA output to hook up for powerpoint presentations. Not solved that one yet.

I might even buy a spare, as I am fairly rough with my pocketables (thus the graveyard of OQOs).</description>

		<description>You should try the LieNbook or something similar while using notebook in bed........... after googling, I found out that LieNbook is not
available out of my country but I think there must be something similar 
At least I saw something similar in Japen. Anyway overhead book hangers were
good for PMPs and notebooks during bedtimes(it can only become bad
if it collapses while you sleep).</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve found this on the umid website under news, translated with google

Hello!
All of our products, please use gogaesukyeo people will thank you.
The current contents of the issue I&#039;d like to answer.

1. Appearance Issues
: Appearance of the problem still did not get to meet customers sobijabun I apologize.
Modifying a car despite mold and injection molding company&#039;s quality standards do not reach the goal level as our two cars to fix, and even endure the loss of more mold in the batch relegate the party to determine the progress made by .
Soon hope to introduce quality improvements.

2. Mobile phone charging capability issues
: Hayeoteumedo apply for a patent for a cell phone charging capabilities and skills on two kinds of features (using a cell phone charger, USB charger) to charge you to use all the time, as well as take up more than 20 hours is not available in all the cell phone charger adapters. Constant voltage, all designed to sosumodelman charging current is available. We even use the feature to 1 would aim to use the USB chungjeongineungman was early in the specification bulletin. Applied to 10 hours USB charging time is shortened.
Despite this our decision, considering the above-mentioned inconveniences and to those who wish to use a cell phone charger use rekseobiseusenteoreul daewooil hope to receive the desired service. The schedule for service and cooperation, Daewoo Electronics, after the announcement, we&#039;ll be re-0.

3. DMB susinyul and full-screen issues
: 4 / 9 on Win XP on DMB player receives DMB DMB Player for Linux, such as performance, it is to be improved some.
Can continue to improve we will try to.
And, in a full screen, full screen, so I can request for the S / W that is put on our website. Only the S / W and downloading is a problem with CPU market share to climb a lot.
Because of this, the 1.1GHz model, the screen is slow to multitask while watching DMB the 1.1GHz model, a user can cause symptoms that you download, please jiyanghae. Underway to improve the review is complete and re-notice all deurigetseupni.
The problem is not the 1.33GHz model.
DMB sobijabun related to the apologies for the inconvenience.

4. Natural discharge issues
: NotePC embukeseoneun like other smart battery support. PMP is a feature common deungeneun.
Smart features is performed by micom, battery charge / discharge, Power On / Off, and is responsible for power management. To power the system off of the micom you have always lived
Because the battery power consumption will occur. Note PC is significantly lower because of the size of the battery discharge capacity embuke like this almost, but not
The same discharge rate.
The ultra-Note PC is embukdo Note PC and the same is part of discharge.

5. LCD Panel Issues
: Embukeneun to Samsung&#039;s LCD and AMLCD.
LCD at the bottom, and a total of 11 LED, 1 line in the 5 to 6 dogs and the other line is connected in parallel eoitneun structure as the LED, LCD, you adjust the brightness of the LED and the LED in dark shades, like a stain LCD issues, including the visible symptoms are not bad in the basis.
Continue to improve the consumer will ask about the inconvenience.

6. Heat issues
: Kiseukin a cafe for the official position of our company have a say.
Can cause fever kiseukin used in the Do not use during the storage time will tell I&#039;ve used.
Because of these issues are not available in kiseukin instead of a gift and can guard the skin.

7. Accessories issues
: Xander Xander use the USB for the inconvenience that I know.
The solution for us to offer a lot of guys sobijabun information is based on the various types of considering gender will be determined as soon as possible.
The volume of the earpiece volume control, the keyboard can be carriers of yieotgie are deleted.
As much attention to product quality was insufficient for the carriers as part of accessories is now a fact.
Will once again say I&#039;m sorry.

8. Door Micro SD card issues
: If you close the cover by pressing the only part of the woocheukkkeut will remain closed.

9. Adapter Size Issues
: The burden of development costs, without a separate adapter development using off-the-shelf to the size you want because we will not use.
To improve these models will be the follow-up.



Please purchase the M1 for the convenience of use sobijabun We will be doing their best work.
In addition, the subsequent products, most of these parts will be considered for the launch.
We will be the sobijabun their eternal companion.
This is in response to the sound discretion of the sobijabun neuteotdeon that you must understand the period.
Mojjorok to provide better products and we sobijabun customers.

Thank you.

		<description>Well, I thought I&#039;d pipe in here since I bought a an mbook about 3 weeks from UMID (well, I think it was UMID, we called the number on their website and got their address, but the office in Yongsan said Sorimaul).  

Anyways, I thought I&#039;d add my 2 cents:
- I watched the video and Chippy&#039;s seems to creak a lot. My does creak a bit, but no where near as much as when he squeezed the screen bezel. It&#039;s closer to the creaking of the my iPhone 3G than what I heard in the video.  Maybe it will after I use it more
- Even on my production model, the plastics are kinda poor, and I was assured that mine had the new hinge
- For me, the keyboard was the deciding factor. I started out years ago with Palm Pilots and when I moved to a Sony Clie that had a keyboard I was hooked. Then I got a couple of Sharp Zaurus&#039;s that have keyboards, but they were still membrane keyboards. Then I moved to the OQO 01+, still a membrane keyboard, but it ran XP. But it runs hot, it&#039;s slow and noisy and battery life is pretty poor. The UMID isn&#039;t perfect, but it was compelling enough for me to buy one
- When I use the touchscreen, maybe Chippy works out too much, but I haven&#039;t pushed it over yet
- There is no such thing as a umpc being too light
- I&#039;m able to use more than one finger while typing, I&#039;m trying to develop some sort of modified touch typing technique where I can use 2 or 3 fingers from each hand.  Everytime I buy a new device, it takes awhile for me to optimize my typing.  I do tabletop typing just fine than, I don&#039;t need to hold it up
- I would be nice if the screen folded back about 10 degrees more, but from the ideal thumb typing position, I probably move hands about half a centimetre
- Strange layout for keyboard, I agree.  I have the linux version, I use the forward slash a lot while navigating the filesystem from the command line.  Sooner or later it will bug me enough and I will remap some keys.  The single shift key is also annoying
- After 3 weeks of ownership, my keyboard hasn&#039;t bowed up yet.  It does flex a bit, this does bother me.  Think about how much flex a keyboard on an Acer laptop from Walmart flexes.
- the Hancomm Linux version doesn&#039;t seem to have a driver for bluetooth, so I don&#039;t have the single button for wifi/BT issue.  But I would like to
- The lack of a direct USB port doesn&#039;t bother me too much, I had the same issue with my Zaurus
- The lack of a direct headphone port doesn&#039;t bother me too much either, music is on my iPhone
- The lack of a mouse input device doesn&#039;t bother me as much as I thought it would.  Then again I am using the Linux version and the interface seems to be designed for touch input.  I did play around with the XP version, and yah, you will need to use the stylus, things are small on the desktop.  Don&#039;t get me wrong, I would love to have a Thinkpad trackpoint style mouse controller.  
-  Mine did get hot once.  I closed the lid and it didn&#039;t seem to sleep, when I came back sever hours later it was pretty warm.  But not OQO 01+ warm :)  Shutdown and startup times are so fast that I shut it down now instead.
-  Versus the Viliv, I did check it out in Yongsan quickly (I had already bought the UMID at that time, so I didn&#039;t want to get tempted).  It seemed heavy (heavier?), and I need a keyboard.  I also need something that I can put down on a table during meetings that will stand up on its own.
- I would have loved to have 1GB on this thing.  In fact I would love to have about 8GB on this thing, but I bought this for the pocketability, and for checking email and surfing.  Not running for running Oracle, or WebLogic or Visual Studio.  But I&#039;d love to :)
- I regret not buying an extra battery, the guy offered me one for about $25 US.  

I&#039;m sure the next version will be better, but who knows when/if it&#039;s coming out?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I thought I&#8217;d pipe in here since I bought a an mbook about 3 weeks from UMID (well, I think it was UMID, we called the number on their website and got their address, but the office in Yongsan said Sorimaul).  </p>
<p>Anyways, I thought I&#8217;d add my 2 cents:<br />
- I watched the video and Chippy&#8217;s seems to creak a lot. My does creak a bit, but no where near as much as when he squeezed the screen bezel. It&#8217;s closer to the creaking of the my iPhone 3G than what I heard in the video.  Maybe it will after I use it more<br />
- Even on my production model, the plastics are kinda poor, and I was assured that mine had the new hinge<br />
- For me, the keyboard was the deciding factor. I started out years ago with Palm Pilots and when I moved to a Sony Clie that had a keyboard I was hooked. Then I got a couple of Sharp Zaurus&#8217;s that have keyboards, but they were still membrane keyboards. Then I moved to the OQO 01+, still a membrane keyboard, but it ran XP. But it runs hot, it&#8217;s slow and noisy and battery life is pretty poor. The UMID isn&#8217;t perfect, but it was compelling enough for me to buy one<br />
- When I use the touchscreen, maybe Chippy works out too much, but I haven&#8217;t pushed it over yet<br />
- There is no such thing as a umpc being too light<br />
- I&#8217;m able to use more than one finger while typing, I&#8217;m trying to develop some sort of modified touch typing technique where I can use 2 or 3 fingers from each hand.  Everytime I buy a new device, it takes awhile for me to optimize my typing.  I do tabletop typing just fine than, I don&#8217;t need to hold it up<br />
- I would be nice if the screen folded back about 10 degrees more, but from the ideal thumb typing position, I probably move hands about half a centimetre<br />
- Strange layout for keyboard, I agree.  I have the linux version, I use the forward slash a lot while navigating the filesystem from the command line.  Sooner or later it will bug me enough and I will remap some keys.  The single shift key is also annoying<br />
- After 3 weeks of ownership, my keyboard hasn&#8217;t bowed up yet.  It does flex a bit, this does bother me.  Think about how much flex a keyboard on an Acer laptop from Walmart flexes.<br />
- the Hancomm Linux version doesn&#8217;t seem to have a driver for bluetooth, so I don&#8217;t have the single button for wifi/BT issue.  But I would like to<br />
- The lack of a direct USB port doesn&#8217;t bother me too much, I had the same issue with my Zaurus<br />
- The lack of a direct headphone port doesn&#8217;t bother me too much either, music is on my iPhone<br />
- The lack of a mouse input device doesn&#8217;t bother me as much as I thought it would.  Then again I am using the Linux version and the interface seems to be designed for touch input.  I did play around with the XP version, and yah, you will need to use the stylus, things are small on the desktop.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I would love to have a Thinkpad trackpoint style mouse controller.<br />
-  Mine did get hot once.  I closed the lid and it didn&#8217;t seem to sleep, when I came back sever hours later it was pretty warm.  But not OQO 01+ warm <img src='http://www.umpcportal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Shutdown and startup times are so fast that I shut it down now instead.<br />
-  Versus the Viliv, I did check it out in Yongsan quickly (I had already bought the UMID at that time, so I didn&#8217;t want to get tempted).  It seemed heavy (heavier?), and I need a keyboard.  I also need something that I can put down on a table during meetings that will stand up on its own.<br />
- I would have loved to have 1GB on this thing.  In fact I would love to have about 8GB on this thing, but I bought this for the pocketability, and for checking email and surfing.  Not running for running Oracle, or WebLogic or Visual Studio.  But I&#8217;d love to <img src='http://www.umpcportal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

		<description>Assuming it works with a &quot;lid switch&quot; like a netbook, you can assign what it ll do when triggered in your power settings. Simply set it to &quot;do nothing&quot; to disable it. Ofcourse theres some timers shutting various parts down, but you could just set those to turn off the screen only.</description>

		<description>Therotically it&#039;s possible.
However. 1) You will get heat build up in your pocket. If th device is locked to 800Mhz/600Mhz with screen of it should be OK but I just want to make you aware.
2) The sound output on the UMID is very poor. Not just through the supplied headphones but also through quality headphones (which need an adaptor.) All in all, not a very good audio device at all. Viliv S5 is far far better for that.

		<description>Can someone tell me whether you can have the device in your pocket while listening to music from it with earphones? I.e. is there a way to prevent it from going to sleep when the screen goes down?</description>
