The UMID M1 is a MID that looked quite formidable on paper. We already told you about its pricing info, but now Slashgear has some hands-on photos of the device and has also dropped a few first impressions. From photos, the UMID M1 looks much like a cheapened Sony Vaio P, and as it is made of plastic the look and feel also reflect that. Unfortunately, its $500 price doesn’t seem to jive with that, so the UMID M1 may find it hard to land on potential customers’s hands. For a better understanding of how the UMID M1 works and how it performs, head on over to Slashgear for their full story on the MID.

We’ve already told you about NVIDIA’s upcoming Tegra chips that could theoretically power $99 MIDs, but now you can see it on video. Not the chip itself, but a proof of concept device that’s got it inside, which NVIDIA showcased in its booth in the now on-going MWC 2009. One of NVIDIA’s proof of concept units was shown with Android, while another was playing 1080P video effortlessly as handheld device. Engadget’s got a bunch of videos showing the chipset’s performance, and it should be enough to convince any non-believer: Tegra “just works.” At least for now. Hopefully, they plant this into at least a couple of devices that will be released in the summer.
