Tablet? Netbook? UMPC?
What do you call this? A tablet? Netbook? UMPC?
What is Netbook, what is UMPC? see descriptions from GIZMODO
This is from Taiwan. Brand new. Garmin?? It got anything to do with Garmin?

Nope~ see the seal? ~BYTE. Is GIGABYTE. Also comes with a Papago VR-1 GPS program and Mobile01 touch pen.
See it in reverse: M912. Open it~~ open it~~~~
This is it! Special Ed. from Mobile 01. This coffee gold color is not even ava. in market. And with Mobile01 logo? This will NEVER appear in market.

GIGABYTE Startup screen. The label is for Intel new CPU Atom.
Spec:
CPU: Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
RAM: 2GB ( standard with 1GB, this special Ed. +1GB)
Display: 1024×600, w/Touch screen, as 180° rotation angle
Northbridge: Mobile Intel®945GSE Express Chipset+ ICH7M
Harddisk: 2.5″, 9.5mm SATA HDD 160GB
Built-in 1.3M pixels webcam
Speaker 1.5 watt x 2
80 key keyboard/Touch Pad
4 Cell batt x2 ( 1 extra for this special Ed.)It doesn’t come with any operating systems. But for testing, It got Ubuntu 8.04 installed with customized menu.
I myself gave it a new OS: Vista ultimate. with the tablet function, this M912 works great. and the 4-cell batt last longer than I thought. around 2hrs. Hope the 6-cell comes out sooner and can last longer so i don’t have to bring 2 batts around.
original coffee cold M912. [no icons, logos on the cover, so plain, so dull.......
