So what is special about this version? Basically, it comes with a faster processor with the 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z530 processor replacing the 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z515 CPU and double the amount of RAM 1 GB instead of 512 MB.

USB Port fitted to a UMID

David Allen — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:00:35 +0000

One thing that you don’t often see is a full sized USB port installed in a UMID netbook, but that is not going to stop everyone from going without or being forced to use a mini USB port. The netbook in question is the UMID mBook BZ as we know this has no USB port, but could use one, so why fit it yourself? It seems from the images that the actual installation process is fairly easy to do, but that of course is going to depend on how technically minded the user is. The images below will take you through the process, but don’t come running to us if it doesn’t work! Source [Pocketables] a diy usb port, Laptop DIY, UMID, USB Port fitted to a UMID

David Allen — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:00:58 +0000

There are only a few reasons for buying a rebadged computer no matter what the size is and they are cheaper price, better specs or just availability. However, in France it seems that a firm called Sagencom have done just that with the Spiga Pocket Book. This device has an 8 Gb SSD, 1.1 GHz Intel Atom CPU hand help computer that has been 3G enabled and comes with a price tag of $742, sounds a like case for a mobile carrier deal.
