LG to make a MID. This time for sure?

Click here to see more



Last time we heard LG was about to ship their MID "in the second half" ... of 2008.

It never got out but this time they are making a bit more noise and official press releases...

So:

" LG Electronics (LG) and Intel Corporation today announced collaboration around mobile Internet devices (MIDs) based on Intel’s next-generation MID hardware platform, codenamed “Moorestown,” and Linux-based Moblin v2.0 software platform. The LG device is expected to be one of the first Moorestown designs to market."

And:

" In order to offer a variety of network connections and Internet access, LG is also working with Ericsson to bring 3G network capability to its planned MID."

But:

" LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, announced today that it will demonstrate the first data card based on 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology standards during the GSMA Mobile World Congress 2009.

LG will display its versatility with its data card solution by connecting three data cards to 3 different devices. These devices include a laptop, a netbook and a prototype mobile internet device (MID). "

.... So LG is making a state of art LTE modem, demoing it on a MID but allready saying they will use Ericsson 3G modem on a device they will possible release in 2010-11 ?!?!

With the Ericsson 3G modem this device doesn't look voice enabled to me even Intel is saying: " This software ( Moblin v2.0 ) is designed specifically to deliver a great PC-like Internet experience while also supporting cell phone voice capabilities. " we will see...


Btw. It looks pretty sure we can forget " the other " MID now...

Velocity NoteMagix M5 MID / UMPC to USA markets

Continue reading..

" Utilizing touch screen navigation and full wireless connectivity, the NoteMagix M5 is the ultimate hand held UMPC device. Compact and functional, the sub $500 M5 is the perfect innovative mobile solution. Features include:

4.8” touchscreen with stylus for simple and intuitive navigation

Full keyboard for quick and easy emailing and chatting. Large enough for composing word documents, collapsible for easy portability

Wifi, bluetooth, and 3G capabilities for easy connectivity to the web and other hardware

5+ hours of run time

NoteMagix M5 will be available at major retailers later this Spring. For more information, please visit www.velocitymicro.com. "

NoteMagix M5 is Velocitys version of Compal/Aigo/Gigabyte MID but they are hoping to bring it out with XP Home!


Original design has the disadvantage of slitted 2 + 2GB SSD so XP will be tight fit... also 512MB RAM will limit it a bit... Hope they can do something about it. Battery life expectation seems to be a bit high too as i can only get 2.5 hours from the Aigo version with XP..

How-to: Installing XP to Aigo P8860 MID

Yeah!

Click here to see more

Steps:

Delete, make new and format the first drive/partition to fat32 or nfts. I used Vista dvd on external usb dvd drive.


Make BartPE usb disk - copy i386 folder from XP disk to that usb stick. Boot with that usb stick.


On BartPE, click start, run and type: Run E:\i386\winnt32.exe /syspart:C: /tempdrive:C: /makelocalsource


XP install software starts and ends after copying files.. shutdown, take the usb stick out and boot..

..Grub bootloader appears..
type:

grub> chainloader +1 ...and hit enter key
grub> boot ...and hit enter key

Installing XP continues.. takes about 45 minutes.

Done!

Now wait for XP drivers ;)


Here is a detailed guide using BartPE

..and here is someone lucky using the Aigo with full set of XP drivers
