Who would have thought the Sony Mylo would be in the list

I wonder if we are looking at concept devices (like concept cars at the big car shows) rather than real things that you will actually be able to go out and buy soon.

I also notice that the leaks never seem to mention battery life - surely the hardest engineering problem for these size of devices.

We can be tough on Nokia for many things, but I am pretty sure that they are very, very good at eking every drop of power out of a battery.

Sony says the Mylo 2 will be on sale in a few weeks. OTOH, while a vast improvement over the Mylo 1, and not a bad piece of tech, it's still seriously inferior to the n810. I have no idea if the Aigo MID is a prototype or not, but I suspect it will be real device going on sale soon, since they have shown off other versions of the same device in previous shows. Depending upon price and capability, the Aigo MID might well be a serious competitor to the n810.

I think the MIDs are heavily dependent on when Intel can ship the 45nm Silverthorne CPU and Menlow platform in general (of which Silverthorne is but a part).

I'm looking forward to Intel MIDs, particularly as they will have support for all of the built-in hardware (ie. PowerVR 3D etc.) rather than ignoring it with lame excuses. The only issues will be battery lifetime and/or size, which may be inferior to Nokia with these first generation devices.

As much as I (and others)b!tch and complain about all the short comings of Nokia's IT line, here we are nearly a year later after Nokia announced the N800, there are still no clear competitors in the field near the same price range.

We've seen a whole lot of "coming soon" and other promised devices but really other then say the iPod/touch, the Eee PC (though only real comparison is the price range) even some phones have come close, but for the price and all the capabilities you really can't go wrong with any of the NIT's..

Is this not the same tablet we saw about 6-8 months ago ? Or maybe just the UI on a different tablet ?

Edit:
I see now that video was posted early in May 07.

And BT is nice but wouldn't be a deal breaker. (since I cannot for the life of me to get my DUO to pair with my N800)

Some more on the Mylo

A video here

Check out the camera quality, zoom features and image editing.

It's an old video. I was talking more about the UI. It's much slicker and smoother than Maemo.

It's very nice but the lack of bluetooth makes it a complete non-starter. If it can't use my phone as a modem it's no use at all for me.

Lenovo and Aigo CES videos from engadget:

http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/v...ces-in-action/

The Lenovo seems to be priced at $599 and will be available "sometime in the next year" although it will be available in China sooner than that (might already be available in China, the presenter isn't clear on that - doubt it somehow).

The Aigo has no US release date but will be available in H1 this year.

Looks like China and Asia Pacific countries will be getting MIDs first, then perhaps releasing in the US once they have gauged demand/stabilised the platform?
