A really cheap MID has come China’s way and, hopefully, our way pretty soon. The Windows CE Chuwi W3000 will be flying off the shelves with the very decent price tag of 999 yuan, whihc makes about $146 USD. Chwi makes several storage capacities available and the GPS is optional, to our understanding, so you [...]

We’ve been wondering when Chuwi will come out with its UMPC. If Aigo can do it, why not Chwui, maker of the T8 PMP? The Chuwi W3000 has WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS and the tastiest optional applications: instant messaging, navigation software, among others probably related to multimedia. It plays AVI and RMVB and perhaps other [...]

Our thought when we first we laid eyes on photos of the SmartQ 7 Internet tablet was, How much do they cost. Little did we know another question, just as crucial, would pop up. What color do we want our SmartQ 7 to be? The problem is the fast launch date. The MID was announced [...]

In terms of build, the Viliv S5 MID (or UMPC, whatever you want to call it) is one of the better buys on its niche, though we were hoping the UMID mbook improves on its current hardware. The Viliv S5 is an Atombased machine with a 4.8-inch WSVGA touchscreen. For $599 it is good value, [...]

Also dubbed the “HipTop mini laptop,” the Dee-PC looks nothing like the original netbook from Asus, the EeePC. Besides the 7-inch 800 x 480 LCD, 533Mhz ARM processor, WiFi, 2GB of RAM, the Dee-PC also features, and perhaps more interestingly, Windows CE. I’m hoping this is what Quarta Mobile have in mind regarding CE’s small [...]

The Vaio P will be given a run for its money by a new Lenovo netbook, dubbed the Pocket Yoga. The Lenovo netbook will share the Viao P’s form factor but adds a touchscreen with stylus input, obviously a tablet netbook. It may also have a built-in webcam, but that is all the details we [...]

Nurian’s got to be proud of its new e-Dic, the X40Kris, categorized as a premium pocket dictionary, Between the X40Kris and the recently announced Dicple D31, it’s obvious which has the nicer hardware. Next to all e-Dic models out there, the X40Kris is a veritable MacBook Air in the e-Dic division, that is. Only 21.3mm [...]

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 [...]

That debunked rumor of Apple releasing a touchscreen netbook might not be totally false after all as the DigiTimes reveals in their latest report. Apple has contracted a Wintek, a Taiwanese-based computer parts manufacturer, to produce touchscreen displays for an upcoming notebook, but it doesn’t end just there. Quanta has been name dropped as the [...]

O2 will be distributing the 4.1-inch touchscreen Toshiba TG01 in Germany. This is an exclusive for O2, which will be up against T-Mobile Germany’s iPhone offering. No pricing announced yet. The TG01 is a huge phone, the biggest we’ve seen from a major manufacturer and only “slightly” slimmer than the fantastic and Skype-enabled VX1000 from Newman, [...]
