Back in Action

Ok, a month between posts is too long and CES has got me all fired up to chatter about gadgets so here is a quicky for you to take a peek at.

This little sucker is called the Aigo, an Intel based, Linux run UMPC. Apparently, Intel does not roll out Linux based products often, but this one looks to be a pretty neat device. Speculation Intel states that this device will rock Wi-Max along with its sexy touch screen, but the burning question is not "Will it Blend?" rather, "Does it have an Integrated Microphone so I can call people using Skype?"

I'm asking this for two reasons: One, there is no way I am going to drop upwards of $500 for a device that will be an addition to my current iPhone solution. Two, the iPod Touch can make phone calls over Skype with a little elbow-grease.

Now is it just me or does this Menlow based Intel offering look a whole lot like Nokia's N810?

Still, UMPC = U M Pretty Cool
