Finally!

Yep, wifi and chipset too..

No screen brightness software... maybe some key combo adjusts it.

Starting testing now... More soon...

UPDATE:

Hmm.. " Please note: the drivers compatible only with the new model, as Agio has made some hardware modifications on the device. "

Aigo said the only difference would be SSD size on new version.... testing.. testing..

UPDATE 2: looking bad... BIOS works.. wifi doesn't seem to... testing more

UPDATE 3: I just talked with Mobilx: Wifi drivers will not work on current models and it looks like old versions will never get wifi XP drivers.. I should get info about the brightness software tomorrow..

These drivers work only on new model shipping in late April

It's official: Aigo will start selling their MID with XP

So all drivers should work fine on current versions but the new XP version has 2 x more storage... it's 8GB but on 2 drives, 4GB + 4GB

They didn't give the pricing out yet, but there will be 2 versions: 3G and non 3G..

Available in one month.

Aigo updating their MID.. adding Windows 7 too

It would be UMPC then... right?

Click here to see more


It would mean more storage and faster cpu/more ram at least...

My 2 cents:

Keep the current shape/form
Make it just a bit bigger to accept 20Whr battery
Update the screen to 1024 x 600

Pretty please!

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
