this was announced today by velocity micro. its the same comal mid / gigabyte m528 design but its going retail in the usa. for $500 I can see this selling very well especially with windows XP as most consumers are familiar with it. I think the rx-51 will need to be very special to compete with all these new pocket devices.

I could be wrong but don't the gigabyte m528 type MIDs get their wifi though a sido card. I kinda think that's a bad idea compared to a built in module.

it uses a built in wifi chip but there are no xp drivers for it yet so people have been using usb wifi dongles.

So does this MID from velocity micro differ in that it has internal wifi as compared to wifi though SDIO in the gigabyte m528? Because, reading reviews here and here the gigabyte m528 has wifi through sdio.

I'd load linux on it anyway... maybe that'll have wifi drivers for it

Hey, if you guys want to wait until my Monday update, I've got info on another company, a tiny little outfit really, who's producing a MID similar to the n810, but with a much better kick*** interface and features. It's like crossing the iPhone with the n8xx series. Still gotta dig out the press release from the pile of info I brought back with me, but once I find it, I'll include it in the update. Just check my site Monday for the info.
