I've been looking at this mid for some time now. Looks to be a pretty powerful device although a bit larger than the n810 and n800. From what I've seen the Gigabyte brand m528 comes with a 3megapixel auto focus camera on the back and the Aigo brand does not. You can already order some versions of the Aigo mids and they are going for $600-700 so its quite a bit more expensive than the NITS.

Yes these devices are shaping up, just a lot slower than we would have expected.

CES in January looks like being of interest as a potential showcase for what we might expect to see next year.

Have you seen this piece?

i might jump ship for this baby once price drops 200-300$. by then they should have all drivers for windows. then i can dual boot ubuntu mobile and XP!! bottom line i think it's more powerful but the n810 can do most of what the aigo can do, so why pay ~300 extra?

haha it might be years before it reaches 200-300$. The main downside I see to this mid is the size. The n810 fits easily into my pants pocket and I take it everywhere but this one seems a little chunkier so it might be less portable.

Edit: I just found another variation of this mid that came out in france and apparently costs 249 euros (with 3g contract I guess?)

Here is a review video of it but its in french. This version has a D-pad type thing on the right side. If it was this price in the USA I would buy one instantly.

OOPS! i meant when it drops 2-300 off the regular price. i do like how the n810 is pocketable, but i usually carry a small bag with all my gadgets. so for me, the Aigo would do wonderful.

I've been doing some research on this mid and found the graphics chip it uses.

Intel System Controller Hub -- SGX535(Intel GMA500) + VXD370

Apparently its a pretty powerful chip and pandora uses a similar one the SGX530.

The MSI wind netbook uses the SGX535 and an atom processor running at 1.6ghz and according to some youtube videos I saw it can run Doom 3! Albeit at very low fps but that is pretty amazing.

and Unreal tournament which runs really well

Now this MID has an atom processor but only at 800mhz so it is half of the MSI wind. I think with proper drivers this device could be a pretty powerful handheld x86 game device. What do you guys think?
