DigiCube MIDPhone-50 @ Computex 2009

DigiCube's MID based on Z500 series Atom CPU (1.1 or 1.6GHz / US15W) looks and feels surprising similar to the Sharp D4 we played with last year...
except the 420g MIDPhone-50 has 3.5G (voice ready)...

On the downside the 1800mAh battery is expected to be only good for 1 - 2 hrs, and no option at the moment for a larger battery.

A Docking station was shown in photos giving extra USB / LAN / LCD connections and battery charge stand features (again all quite similar to the D4 :)

JKKmobile will have a nice video online soon...
