Lenovo Ideapad U8 Mobile Internet Device

August 19th 2008 23:59
Lenovo Ideapad U8


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.
