More shots of the Gen2, why can't we have it now?

JK gives his impressions of the Lenovo and Aigo, both running Red Hat Linux. Also he mentions MID's from DigiFriends and Toshiba but as yet I have not seen any pictures

The Lenovo looks cool to me, but I think it's too big for its target market.

Do you mean the 'in your pocket' mrket? I would gladly adapt my pockets for the Gen2.

The Lenovo runs Red Flag Linux and not Red Hat as was previouslyh reported

There is some more info on Clarion, Toshiba, Digifriends and Aigo.

Lack of variety is not an issue

Apparently there are 15 MID's in all at CES so more to follow.

On the other hand, if it runs Vista, I'm not interested.

Unless they have a version that has a fully supported Linux install, that also has HSPA.

Well that is the question isn't it? Otherwise the form factor is good.

Also, given that it's a full umpc, I'm expecting it to cost more than twice what the n810 does. OTOH, the Iriver Wing sounds good. Here's the basic info. While initial reports said it used Window CE (ugh) the Iriver press release says "It utilizes embedded Linux Kernel 2.6". This doesn't look like it will be terribly expensive, and reports say it will be available in the first half of this year.

1024x600 on a 4.8" screen should be pin sharp... but possibly too sharp for my failing eyes to resolve!

With all this kit launching first in China and APAC I reckon the Honk Kong based eBay sellers will be doing a roaring trade!
