You ain’t hip if you don’t own a netbook, or so that’s the general feeling these days. The UMID M1 mbook jumps aboard the netbook bandwagon, where the device ships in a relatively neat package that offers out-of-the-box Internet connectivity, as long as you have a decent Wi-Fi connection nearby. Of course, for those who prefer not to subject themselves to the mercy of Wi-Fi (un)availability in the vicinity, you can always fork out an insane AUD$1,425.95 for the HSDPA model. This tiny device shouldn’t really be able to function as a decent workstation but meant for casual surfing, since the 4.8″ display is really too small to be of practical use, while the keyboard will introduce your fingers to cramps much faster then trying to play riffs from Hotel California.
