Eee PC LAPTOP EVER' small and portable A new category of computers, cheap, small and super-connected, will come to fruition in the coming years: the Ultra Mobile Device (UMD) and the ground will be more advanced than the war between big business, Microsoft, Nokia, Apple, Samsung, Intel and AMD, among others. It seems that their desire to go to war is now all concentrated in mobile terminals, as is falling on the front of a computer, where the flow of news has slowed substantially in recent months. The confirmation has arrived for the first time, with ads in the electronics fair in Hanover, CeBIT, which closes today. Particular the new Asus Eee PC model, but it is only the tip of the iceberg of a plethora of products that will invade the market in the summer, many of them based on the Intel platform. So far, Umd have had limited success, mainly because it represented the UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), focused on public business. This is the case of the Samsung Q1. The big news is provided by the Mid (mobile internet device), another class of UMD, but to the public estate. While the UMPC is based on Windows, the Mid prefer Linux, are cheaper, and will do the bulk of sales of UMD, which in 2012 will reach to 95 million worldwide, according to ABI Research. The Mid will not miss anything, though, regarding the connections to the Internet like the UMPC will have WiFi, UMTS / HSDPA, and in the future, WiMax. According to experts, is the development of mobile WiMax a future boom of the reasons for the Mid. Another feature of the Mid is the screen, under 10 inches, but much bigger than a cell phone (which now comes to 3 inches at best).
are posed as a middle ground in both size and screen, including a laptop (with respect to which are cheaper: less than 500 €) and a PDA / smartphone. They are in a sense, the missing link, in accordance with the manufacturer's users feel a need unmet. Go good for those who are content with something less powerful than a laptop, in order to spend less and have greater portability, and for those who want to use the terminal above to navigate and write. So far these requirements usual you buy a PDA or a smartphone (although this explains the success of the iPhone), but despite the new large screens and keyboards complete physical or virtual, they still manage to be comfortable as a computer to navigate and write. This gives rise to the need of Mid. Intel believes very much that with the new Atom family of processors has earned him headlines. Have processors that will end up in smartphones, GPS navigation, low cost laptops, and other terminals Mid of this type, with platforms based on Linux. Even Nokia, on its Internet Tablet Pc chose Linux. Yes: this growing popularity of Mid likely to prove a blow to Microsoft, which also faces sull'ultra mobile competition MacOS (iPhone) and Symbian (smartphones). Intel also face competition in the world of the ultra mobile even AMD, IBM and Via are working on chip suitable for a generation of terminals have the same characteristics of the Mid. So far, only prototypes have been submitted to Mid Atom-based, but many will come in the summer, Intel announced: from manufacturers such as Aigo, Asus, BenQ, Gigabyte, Lenovo, LG and Toshiba. Panasonic will have a UMPC Atom Between 2008 and 2009: it will be a Toughbook, a small laptop very strong. Atom will have perhaps the new HP Compaq 2133's, from 1.2 pounds to 8.9-inch screen. These are the same screen size model of the new Asus Eee Pc. The first version had an unexpected success. At first we thought it only as a low cost laptop for developing countries, but then we discovered that people liked him, revealing a need for dormant Ultra mobile device. Asus has sold 350 000 in a few months and expects to sell 3 million to 5 million in 2008. The new model called Eee PC 900, has a larger screen, more memory, and will be available this summer, also in Windows XP (and Linux) to 399 €. The Eee PC is considered an Ultra Mobile device for the mass audience and therefore in fact a competitor of the Mid, in contrast to which, however, retains an aspect to your laptop (albeit in miniature). MIDs and UMPCs are tablets with a screen that takes up almost the entire surface. Asus is also working in the field of the UMPC, which has introduced a new range (the R70). Eee PC competitors were also presented by Packard Bell, Delivery, E-Lead Electronics and Datawind at Cebit. The E-Lead Electronics Noahdata features two innovations, the ability to view, 7-inch screen, portions of the standard 10-inch window, keeping the resolution of 1,280 x 768 pixels, and two ciccabili touchpad that can be turned into a full Qwerty keyboard. Asus also shrinks the computer normally, confirming the trend that leads to the miniaturization of information technology: presented at CeBIT two mini pc. They weigh two pounds, but are classic desktop computer (desktop), which are connected keyboard and monitor. One of the many goodies for fans of small
