UMID pulled out quite the suprise at IDF. A refreshed M1 called the M2 which fixes many of the problems of the M1. 1GB RAM, reworked casing, USB ports that don’t require a dongle and a headset port. The M2 will also be available in 1.2 and 1.6Ghz versions and includes an additional optical mouse on the screen frame. Planned for Q4 (Nov/Dec) timeframe. Note that this is a sample device and the final product may vary from what you see in the video.

Very, very promising! Will 7 make the 1.2 GHz version just a bit less viable though?
I can hardly wait to see a retail unit reviewed.

Just put Moblin on that thing and it’ll run like a charm.

This will definitely be my next MID! But I hope they will include 3G as well.

no, too big this is; gadgets like these have to be really pockatable, like my iphone, which is sufficient to me!

Weight?
Does it have video out?
That would make a great hackintosh!
