Good news! All drivers etc. working on Aigo MID seems to be playing nice with Gigabyte M528 too.

Still missing wifi and chipset drivers, but I just got news that they are coming soon!

Thanks Igor again for remote hacking! ;)

Edit: M528 comes with Linux only without XP drivers...

Gigabyte M528 will be the first Atom based MID to ship and on specs wise, it's looking good;

4.8 inch touch screen, slide out keyboard, SSD and 3G HSDPA..

It's pricing has got mixed feelings, as it's looking to be $750.. which is 50% more than Intel has been telling us.

But if you compare it to other small mobile computers with 3g, it's actually a really good start.

I will be taking it my testing rounds as soon as possible, so keep your eye on this small but capable computer.

Thanks Steve for digging the official info up

Unboxing and hands-on with Aigo MID

Joe has been playing with Aigo MID and posted his findings.. Aigo MID uses the same hardware as Gigabyte M528, but it has Midinux OS where M528 has Ubuntu Mobile

Click to see the video and pictures

"I have never play a small X86 device likes this. Compact, Stylish, Innovative and Entertaining.

The Midinux GUI is easy to play, easy to learn and easy to use (Hahaa~~). Most of the application you need may find in this small device.

The Intel Atom Z500 is not a high performance processor but seems work smoothly in Midinux (and Windows XP). All the thing govern my orientation to get one is the price!!"

Playing with the user interface..

I think it was pretty good. I was first a bit worried about so many Linux distributions on these MIDs but Intel's focus on Moblin is looking good..
