Hey folks! I'm back. Sort of. Been a busy time at work for me this year. Still, I haven't stopped my #1 hobby - multifunction devices. I know there are a lot (and do I mean A LOT) of MIDs coming out now with Android as the OS. I can't help but notice there are some folks here on MobileRead who just aren't convinced Android is the best OS for this form factor (5" to 7"). To be honest, I'm not either. I'm getting a Pandigital Novel as soon as it comes out, but I'm also looking at this WinCE device:

X10 MID (WinCE 6) at Engadget

As you all know, there isn't a whole lot of new software being developed these days for WinCE. Still, it seems we have good readers and comic book viewers available. Decent web browsers. Anyhow, I saw a few of these on eBay for sale. I'm wondering if DealExtreme or others are selling it?

I remember seeing some Windows Mobile MIDs out there too. Now those seem to have disappeared. Oh well. I would have been interested...

P.S. I wouldn't mind taking a stab at a new graphical design of the UI in the picture above. I'm guessing the UI itself is nearly the same one I had on my A81 with different graphics (ColdSun UI).
