Just because both look about the same does not make them the same.

But at least this one does exist and is not just a CG rendering (a poor one)

the pic wasn't a phone. Many people speculated that it was based on the unconfirmed specs.

It's just a Compal reference design still sold for example as Aigo MID(800MHz Atom 512MB RAM). Check jkkmobile.com, he is a big fan of the Aigo and made it pretty useful by using XP and EWF.

What is more interesting to me than the pic is endgadget's the take on this >> http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20090604PD214.html

Engadget is no more an authority on what "people" want than any other blog that engages in non-analytical metrics of a niche device to a niche audience...
...find some real metrics (Pew and American Life, Tomi Ahonen, etc.) and then let's talk about who's take is accurate

Whaaaaa, it looks exactly like the supposed N900 ... but it's a MID branded "COMPAL"
http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/m...tel-surprised/
By the way, this article is quite interesting ...
It seems that our tablets are not the only ones to have difficulties to find a public, MID sales were "desastrous" :
"Intel claims that the weak sales were due to the global economic downturn but we have another opinion: mainstream consumers don't want a device that is too big for the pocket, provides less functionality than a netbook, and is priced like a laptop."
