Are you Sitting Comfortably? MIDStories.com
It’s a new website all about MIDs…
Run by the bloggers from GottaBeMobile and Notebooks.com it looks like a great way to start learning about how mobile internet devices are used in everyday situations. Check out this article for example where a family are testing out a Viliv S5 this summer.
In fact, if you’ve got a [...]
What Moorestown means for Consumers
I wake up this morning to a clearer understanding about where Moorestown fits but to an article that highlights that there’s a lot of marketing to be done by Intel. The new platform, demonstrated yesterday on a number of working devices, appears to be technically very capable and extends through a number of product sectors. [...]
Post-Ultra Mobility Event Q&A with Intel
I had a chance to meet Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s Ultra Mobility Group, after the Ultra Mobility Event today and (apologies to the other bloggers in the room) managed to ask a whole bunch of questions. Some couldn’t really be answered in detail but here are the highlights.
Video-look: Quanta’s Moorestown MID
Here’s a very early look at the Quanta MID. I haven’t analysed it yet. (ports, cam, etc etc) but will get detailed hands-on later.
YouTube video is crunching as I type this so if it doesn’t play, give it a few minutes and try again.
Intel Ultra Mobility Event. Live Coverage.
I’m sitting outside the event Entrance. There’s a huge rush from the camera people and the doors are open. We’ve got the press release and it looks like my predictions are correct. We should see 5 Moorestown devices today.
The event starts at 1400 here.
Chaos as TV crews push through for interviews.
1345. VIPs are [...]
Preview: Intel to Demonstrate Moblin Smartphones at Computex
You’ve seen the Inventec Mediaphone, the Moorestown-based MID already but we’re in for an even better treat tomorrow. At about 2pm here in Taiwan, Intel will be showing 3 working Moorestown products running Moblin V2 and if all goes well you should see a video of me making a phone call from one to the other proving that Intel are entering the smartphone market.
Inventec Mediaphone. Photo’s, Video.
Update: There will be a demonstration of 3 Moblin Smartphones tomorrow.
These images were taken at the Moblin event at Computex. The phone was used to highlight the next step for Moblin – MediaPhones. Voice-enabled internet and media-focused slates.
This isn’t something you’ll be able to buy this year because it’s Moorestown based and that’s coming in [...]
Computex Day 1 – Netbooks are in apparently!
IMG_9335 Listen, netbooks and ‘thin is in’ notebooks are cool and all that but can we have some MID and UMPC love please? ;-) Read more.
BenQ MID running XP and Wimax
I’ve started at the quiet end of Computex today which is probably a good thing to do when it’s your first time. I’ll move the main hall tomorrow because later today we’ve got the Intel Keynote and Mobility presentation.
One thing I did check out though was the Intel WiMax stand where there were a range [...]
