Looking for a new MID? How about the i1 from Wibrain. The device looks interestingly enough, although it seems like I’d have a hard time typing from souch a device. The i1 will pack either a 1.1GHz or a 1.3GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, a 30GB or 60GB HDD or a 8GB, 16GB or 32GB SSD. This MID will have various Internet connectivity options like tri-band UMTS/HSDPA and quad-band GPRS/EDGE.

Like always the device, spotted at IFA, doesn’t have a price or a release date yet so go to Wibrain and ask around. Maybe they’ll let you know more.

It’s only fair to look at Samsung’s competition after we’ve seen their new Q1 Ultra UMPC versions today. I am talking about Wibrain and their updated L1 UMPC.
