View Full Version : Apple MID? pilotbob 05-14-2008, 05:33 PM Don't you just love Apple re-re-re-re-rumors? How about an Apple MID/UMPC? http://www.macrumors.com/2008/05/14/intel-confirms-atom-based-larger-iphone-mini-tablet/ BOb Gester 05-15-2008, 10:13 AM Don't you just love Apple re-re-re-re-rumors? How about an Apple MID/UMPC? http://www.macrumors.com/2008/05/14/intel-confirms-atom-based-larger-iphone-mini-tablet/ BOb Wow, this has been a rumor at every apple conference for the last two years, so I think it is worth taking with a grain of salt. Then again, so was the iPhone... And here I was looking forward to buying an Astak Mentor...hmmm... I'm not slavishly devoted to eink displays. If I can get a device with a 6" or better screen, book abilities and PDA function, I might have to go for it. Of course, it will be expensive as hell... jplumey 05-16-2008, 10:09 AM Can anyone tell me (or show me a link) on how these atom-based computing devices are supposed to work? wallcraft 05-16-2008, 10:21 AM The generic MID/UMPC segment is covered well by UMPC Portal (http://www.umpcportal.com). They currently have an article on the Aigo MID which is one of the 1st devices with the Atom microprocessor. In the US dynamism (http://www.dynamism.com/) sells a range of UMPC's, but none of them currently for sale use the Atom microprocessor. pilotbob 06-09-2008, 03:08 PM Apple did NOT accounce a Tablet/MID/eBook device today at WWDC. Just a new 3G iPhone. Move along, nothing to see here. BOb |
