Intel’s MID commercial tells us what we already knew

Monday, April 14th, 2008 by admin

Okay, so there’s a fair amount of folks out there still wondering what exactly a MID (Mobile Internet Device) can do for them, and while some may scrutinize the facts and still come away in a haze, Intel has unleashed a new 84 second spot hyping the platform’s ability to keep you connected in nearly any locale. The plug trumpets the “great battery life” you’re just guaranteed to get as well as the ability to connect via WiFi or WiMAX. Beyond accessing the web, you’ll also find promotions for multimedia playback and “catching up on your work” — the latter of which we’re thoroughly skeptical about. Still, you’re likely to get a hearty chuckle out of it if nothing else, so click on past the break to get schooled.

One of our totally awesome tipsters got his hands on some more pics of Intel’s forthcoming (we hope) Netbook, or as they call it, the Eco PC. These shots are way clearer than the previous pictures we’ve spied, and showcase the TI-99-esque keyboard that has at least one member of the Engadget team pretty darn excited. Take a look after the break at a few more photos, and hit Min Thu’s Flickr gallery for the whole tour.

Check it high-enders. DigiTimes has been milking their Taiwanese motherboard sources for information about Intel’s laptop-class, Core 2 Extreme QX9300 processor. They’ve come away with a Q3 ship date and price of $1,038 when purchasing the quad-core proc in bulk. Digitimes’ own sources had originally pegged the QX9300 for a May release. But such is the life of the muckraker.
