Giga-byte, Chunghwa to Launch Linux M528 MID in August

,----[ Quote ]
| The M528 is a small, handheld device with a 4.8-inch touchscreen that runs a 
| Linux OS and uses an 800MHz Intel Centrino Atom microprocessor as its 
| calculating engine. It's part of a new breed of handheld devices the PC 
| industry hopes will catch on as a way for people to surf the Web from just 
| about anywhere. What makes it different from a mobile phone is its larger 
| screen. The biggest mobile phone screens, even when the entire face is used, 
| still top out at around three inches.
