18.11.2009Hands-on with a prototype Intel Mobile Internet Device
During KDE's
aKademy
developer summit in Glasgow,
2007, Ars Technica got an
early look at a prototype of
the Intel Mobile Internet
Device, known as the Intel
MID.
This prototype
was supplied to the French
offices of Mandriva, a Linux
distribution that was chosen
by Intel to help test and
develop KDE for this device. I
had chance to play with this
prototype for a few hours,
complete with a working
installation of KDE 4.0 Alpha
2.
The particular
unit I was looking at had been
fitted with a fresh
installation of Mandriva Flash
Edition and a fresh build of
KDE 4's development series.
The device is still considered
a technology development
prototype, and the final
version will not be shipped
with the exact same
configuration as the
prototype. In fact, this
prototype was accompanied with
warnings that it had not been
tested to conform to any FCC
regulations or their
international counterparts.

WiFi, Ethernet and use only 2 watts of power. That is all that is known for now about the cheap laptop but it has many wondering if it is anything
more than vaporware. The idea of a $20 laptop is going to be quite the task and is slated for a release this summer.
