Midinux - Linux on UMPC

[illriginalized]

Anyone have a direct link to this? I came across a download page from their website.. but apparently you have to download 5 ISOs?! Typically linux is within 700MB

[SmashCOBamberg]

I would love to own an iphone/ipod touch of that big :-D

[Exelzior97]

what is that PDA?

[Ronnie51026]

how do you install this on a blank device

[combatcameraman]

So that's what happens when you mate an iPhone and a PocketPC

[cyberlord64]

yeah but you gotta get em really drunk first

[fatriff]

Now, this is a story all about how

My life got flipped-turned upside down

And I liked to take a minute

Just sit right there

I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

[fatbastard135]

randomness :P

[rahj8786]

what umpc brand is this?

[osmiley99]

my nokia n800 is more better and more sexy than ur bulky as wifi shit.

[305851DaVi]

Was this model ever released?

[xXEduBuntuXx]

looks great

[doonbugie]

what UMPC model is that?

[insanity54]

hurts my ears use a different camera!

[kcphaid]

Jesy Cresy whats with the high pitched Whine, making this unwatchable.

[Jzarecta]

looks like the maemo platform form tne n800.

[danielj06]

They're both based on the hildon desktop

[hemdall91]

so cool,ive seen in other videos it comes in different colors too,IMO its a really interesting device there,Linux itself is a pretty interesting program,ive seen a few vids of it,it seems that roughly 85-90% people say it rocks,but i dont have it yet so i dont know exactly,im absolutely getting this,the touch screen is pretty trippy as well,and by the way,does anyone know when it will come out? or if it has come out,were i can get one? (soz,but im not really very informed on these matters)

[casire]

what device is that???????????????????

[ARHYTHMATIK]

Apple has a patent on multi-touch. This is the future of mobility. MIDs will replace the cell phone. Imagine unlimited voice calls anywhere you have a connection (which is almost everywhere you have a cell connection now with a 3G connection) for $30 a year via Skype. The Carriers are in trouble.

[CerebralGump]

Apple doesn't have a patent on multi-touch, the technology is licensed from Perceptive Pixel. Apple has applied for a patent on its multi-touch track pad though.

[SanCodos]

that will be the world in only a few short years

[Zentraleinheite]

Who needs patented multitouch equipment when you can just rig up a Wii remote on a Bluetooth connection to track four points simultaneously? Ha. :D

[vaknins]

make a multi touch version. that would put it on a different league

[texasholdemdown69]

ok, does anyone think that "red flag" prolly means chinese flag.

[electronixtar]

It's exactly an Chinese Linux distro.

[texasholdemdown69]

ok, does anyone think that "red flag" prolly means chinese flag.

[BPX3F]

this is just like the iphone .... kinda

[SanCodos]

umm no yea they both have touch screen but thats it in your logic a ds is like an iphone

[psarlay]

the speed on it iz really good, wher can i get one ???

[Anton338]

Wow! Youtube is pretty fast!

What is this thing called again?

Does it have a specific make and model?

[weirderkki]

I like these Linux UMPCs, because you can do so much more with them.

[loplopkp]

Lienux

[marat61]

I think I, know this gay.

[shaun928]

lol, looks a bit like the interface on the iphone

[2DGUNNY]

tha interface has been arond for a long time apple stole it

[gapboy638]

surely it was copyrighted

[Fulgidus]

surely NOT, do you know what open software is?

And anyway you change in a little part the icons and you can say that was casual they look like those... it's easy if you have a hundred lawyers team... :-D

[sampattuzzi]

I don't know you, but you sound like an unpleasant person.

[Jzarecta]

looks like the maemo project only wtih a Iphone-like theme.

[kirbythepink1]

"very finger friendly..."

[larry389]

what linux is that?

[2DGUNNY]

thats a copy of the iphones interface

[LeonChan]

Ew. I'm hating the interface.

[TUSHIHSIAOMA]

what is the model name of this UMPC???

[frigidgurl21]

i like that phone it made me so shiver aheheheheh

[ctfoley]

The touchscreen features look great, like rotating pictures.

[ShakaGoldSaint]

@viperteq: Next time you should try with something else that is not Damn Small Linux :P.

In the other hand: I REALLY WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!

[zoni4u]

if you try ubuntu, you won't say that it's awful ugly...

[intarwebzz]

just have a fast processor and a lot of ram or you'll say it's slow. ;)

xubuntu - best of both worlds.

[viperteq]

When can we expect to see this released? Will it be released globally at the same time or will it be released in specific geographic areas on a time schedule? What will be the price point of the device when it's released?

And I do have to agree that the UI does look strikingly similar to the iPhone. But I think that's a good thing....my number one complaint about Linux for years has always been that it's god awful ugly.....

[sixtyfivebit]

cool. what's the price gonna be like?

[drumnbimmer]

It looks remarkably similar to the iPhone's interface, except with a stylus, and no multi-touch. I do think that this is a step in the right direction... this is what UMPC's need more than a version of Windows. If somewhere down the road this becomes readily available and the UMPC hardware is not too expensive, I think this is something a lot of people would buy.

[pczou]

the specific device showing here has a physical keyboard. the hardwriting recognition feature will be provided by some 3rd party vendor.

[nikotttin]

Is there handwriting recognition? Because entering text using the virtual keyboard is terribly slow. Nice though :)
