Sagem Spiga Takes Over From UMID M1 Mbook

We cannot confirm if Sagem has changed the specs of the UMID M1 mbook, but what we can say is that the renamed Sagem Spiga will go for less: 499 euros from the previous 600 to 700. It’s still the same tiny 4.8-inch (1024 x 600) screen netbook with the 1.1GHz Intel Atom processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, [...]

UMID M1 mbook Available now in Linux and Windows XP and Both Very Pricey

Justek will now be selling the M1 mbook for customers worldwide. Despite the laudable form factor and the inclusion of a QWERTY keyboard and making the Mbook M1 the smallest netbook in the world, it has had bad reviews in its home country. The $659.42 (Linux) and $765.78 (XP) price points won’t help its cause [...]

UMID M1D is a Little Less mbook

Korea has plenty of e-dictionaries on sale right now and their numbers just got bigger with the introduction of a Windows XP e-Dic. The M1D (M1D-101KWA) still falls under the mbook model of makers UMID and in fact shares the same hardware as the M1 mbook but shaved .2GHz in processor speed and sans the [...]

The best thing one can say about the M1 mbook is that it’s a small neapackage with everything you need for on-the-go Internet surfing. The price is set at $1425.95 for the higher end version with HSDPA, but I believe that’s in Australian dollars, though still pricey after you convert it to US–$1,007 USD or [...]

UMID m1 mbook Delayed for U.S.

UMID’s 4.8-inch m1 mbook will not have its US release just yet. It’s understandable what with the minor fiasco on its Korea debut as reported by CNET. Besides its tiny form factor, this mini netbook has built-in 3G, besides the WiFi connectivity. Slated for a May or June release, the people of UMID have backtracked [...]

Viliv S5 Slams UMID M1 mbook

We thought the UMID M1 mbook was a pretty cool device but hi-tech Korea doesn’t think so. While Viliv sold all 1,000 units of the S5 in pre-order, UMID’s 500 M1 mbook has some left overs. Now, we have no idea how competitive the UMPC market is in Korea. Kevin Kang of CNET thinks it’ll [...]
