Available in the Asian market is this slim and cheap clamshell device that looks a lot like the UMID M1 UMPC. This one is definitely aimed at the consumer though because it’s running Android, dictionary software and a relatively low power Marvell ARM-based CPU at 624Mhz.

The specs:

• 4.8 inch 800×480 touchscreen
• 128MB RAM
• 1GB storage
• 624Mhz Marvell CPU
• OS: Android (We suspect this is not a Google Android Build)
• SD Card Slot
• USB port
• Local price: Around $300 (US equivalent)
• Wifi/Bluetooth: Unknown
• 3G: Version coming late 2010

It looks like this one is built exclusively for the Asian market and with what looks like a relatively weak CPU, I wouldn’t expect this one to set the western world on fire. It shows what can be done though. Taking this design to it’s technology limits with the latest ARM-based platforms like OMAP 3 or Snapdragon means we could see similar designs bring a fast and fluid web and media experience to a small, good value handheld ‘pad’ device during 2010.

Getting closer to the ever-green PSION 5 design is this PC, yes, Atom-based, design that Aving have just published news about.

Looking just slightly bigger than an Aigo MID, this 315gm device looks like it covers all the angles with 3G and digital TV options, a 1024×600 4.8" touchscreen, 8-32GB SSD options, 1.1 or 1.3Ghz CPU and an SD slot.

It looks like it’s due for release in 2009 according to the translation that you can find here. [Original]

If you look at the UMID website, you’ll see a placeholder for the MID but there’s no info there yet. You’ll find an interesting 7" ultra mobile PC slate though that’s also a new one on me.
