Was the Wifi also built in? (not on an SDIO card, whose slot is the only SD slot on board?)
Sounds rather promising. Was the screen bigger than the NIT, or same/similar size?
Did they say anything about a US version, and if so whether it'd be AT&T only? (or support for T-Mobile-USA?)
Will the linux version support bluetooth (I was annoyed that their first model's linux version had no bluetooth).
Trying to remember how much 700€ converts to in US$ ...
As long as it's under $1000, I could probably be on board with a fully supported Ubuntu version. If only it had a tilt screen ;-)

Yes, built in. Slot was empty. Bigger (I put it side by side with my N800, in particular wider), 10.3x6.3 cm with 1024x600 pixels. Also it is much much brighter.

I was really surprised and recommend to take the unit into your own hands to check this (as soon as you can...).

A T-mo US version would be to die for, once they get 3G out here. (Of course, there's not likely to be one available before then, anyway.)
For me, a k$ is a bit much right now, but I could be sold one of these (in some US band) if it's as awesome as it sounds.
At the right price, I could buy one without any data access, but I don't think that's at all likely.

Today at IFA I played again with the new Atom based Wibrain model. It's a shame but I missed the title of this thread in my posts so far - what I touched at IFA these days was the new model i1, not M1, sorry.
@johnkzin:
Today the Wibrain people I've met confirmed that bluetooth (Blue Soleil) will definitely be supported in the Ubuntu version. They also corrected the Ubuntu version to 8.x.
BTW the spec sheet says Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100 MHz and Quad-band GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
oh and "Windows Ubuntu 7"? never heard of it
still, nice to know they are moving forward with that design. they just need to really do something about that price...
