Not feeling netbooks but still want to do an ample amount of computing on the go? Then a UMPC in the form os the UMID M1 might just be the right device for you. At the cost of several hundred dollars more, it will give you true portable computing, since it’s much more pocketable than its folding netbook counterparts. Word on the street is that it will go on sale in different configurations, and the base config costs at least $500. That comes with 512MB of RAM, a Linux OS and a 1.1Ghz processor. Add-ons such as Windows XP, extra RAM, a faster processor and built-in 3G will cost extra money, bringing the price up to $800, which is in line with the prices of other devices in its category. At the moment, though, the UMID M1 is still not on sale anywhere, though both Dynamism and Mobilx are expected to have it on stock sometime in the near future.
