DexterLenovo Ideapad U8 Mobile Internet Device
August 19th 2008 23:59
China's largest PC manufacturer, Lenovo, has launched their latest gadget at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The IdeaPad U8 is a Mobile Internet Device (MID) or effectively, a cross between a laptop and a mobile 'smart' phone with specifications that are obviously much more powerful than your regular phone but much smaller in size than your average laptop at a shade over 300g.
It's no wonder the launch of this device has coincided with the Olympics - it is authorised by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee because it works with the CMMB (China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting) via a USB dongle (pictured above) to offer free, live coverage of the Olympic games in addition to other broadcast signals.
Technical specifications:
- approx. 300g
- Intel 800MHz Atom Z500 processor
- 1GB RAM (max. of 2GB)
- 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen
- 6GB SSD
- Dual cameras
- 5-hour battery life
- Support for mobile TV
- GPS support
Check out the following video of the Ideapad U8 in action.
