Take a look at these new Gigabyte

Be careful before you buy gadgets designed in Korea. They usually seem very cool in the first glance, but later you'll find some very little but extremely annoying things, especially on keyboard. The old example is the useless keyboard of Samsung Nexio S160, the newest example is the Everun. I just took a look at the keyboard of this LG and I can tell immediately they did such little but huge thoughtless thing again: the right shift key should be replaced with Fn, otherwise it is very difficult to use the arrows and pg up and dn. If the Fn and other temporary keys cannot stick, then the keyboard is useless. What's that big Ex key for? Is a Fn not hassle enough? Such little things are obvious, but Korean engineers do like to do them in a strange way to kill otherwise a great and perfect product. To Korean gadgets, the gap between perfect and garbage is only 1 inch.

Yes, the M528 runs XP:

Its power jack is also a standard one - 2 pins. OQO's proprietary DC simply pisses me off.

The battery life is the same class of OQO, 2 hours:

But it is significantly thinner and lighter, a double-cap battery will be very acceptable and will certainly not cost $200. Even with the standard battery, I can easily add my own external power because it has a very standard 5V DC jack.

GPS, 2 cameras, USB-client/host ports, 3G, SD and SIM slots are all included.

OQO is now in big trouble.

the gigabyte m528(usa version) and umpc fever's-aigo(asian version
of m528) have the same cpus and basically similar specs and are identical units- but
the aigo has a 2700mah 3.7v battery, while if u look at tegatech
website it shows the m528 with a 3060mah 3.7v battery. so the m528
should last about 13.33% longer.

Yeeaahhh..., this summer will be 1 MID 528 and 1 LG UMPC for me.

After experiencing so much troubles with OQO, i say bye bye OQO.

Thank you for being your onetime custommer!
