Motorola’s M990 mobile phone recently cleared the FCC hurdle. A GSM phone, it looks like the phone was in development for quite a while, as the user guide is dated October 2007. The M990 presents a jog-dial interface for the user and features a Smart Key that lets you do a number of things like:
Activate voice commands and select various menu items by saying their name
Dial to a name stored on the phone by saying the name
Dial a phone number by saying the number
Create a voice record
There’s also a built-in GPS receiver that can be used by a compatible Java app to aid you in navigation. A class 2 Bluetooth device, you can go wireless up to 10 meters, and can be used with Bluetooth headsets or transfer files to another device.
The Motorola M990 also supports microSD memory cards up to 2GB.
No word on the pricing or availability yet, but check back with us soon.

I’m going to switch gears a bit and check out the Mobile Internet Devices section at the Intel CES 2008 booth where they had a number of small ultra-mobile and ultra-mobile like PCs one display. Enjoy the photo gallery! (I’ll try and provide specs where I can)
Sorry but I’m not sure what the above systems are. Could be reference designs for all I know.
Here are pictures of the Fujitsu Mini-Notebook system (most likely the U810). If it is the U810, then the specs are as follows:
- Intel Processor A110 running at 800 MHz
- Windows Vista or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
- 5.6 inch WSVGA Crystal View touch screen display
- Touch or pen input
- QWERTY keyboard
- Built in wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and Ethernet support
- Integrated fingerprint reader and BIOS lock
- 1GB RAM
- 40GB HDD
The left system is the Samsung Q1 Ultra which features:
- Windows Vista or Windows XP
- Split QWERTY keyboard
- Lithium Ion Prismatic batteries
- 1024 x 600 resolution display with back lit LCD
- Optional HSDPA cellular modem
- Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Ethernet support
- Integrated video chat camera and integrated dual array microphone
The right system is the HTC Shift which features:
- Support for Microsoft Direct Push technology
- Windows Vista OS
- 7 inch touch screen display (800 x 840 resolution)
- Wi-Fi and 3G wireless support
- Screen slides out and tilts up
- QWERTY keyboard
- Fingerprint sensor
- Mouse buttons and microPad
- UMTS and HSDPA support
- Bluetooth 2.0 support
- USB 2.0
- Intel Stealey 800MHz processor
- 1GB RAM
- 1.8 inch 40 or 60GB HDD
- Measures 207 x 129 x 25 mm
Here are additional pics of the Samsung Q1 Ultra:
One of the cooler looking ultra-mobile PC’s on display at the Intel booth was a prototype system from Lenovo pictured below. This system is based on the new Intel “Menlow” platform which utilizes a new Intel processor code-named “Silverthorne” and a new chipset code-named “Poulsbo”. No other details were given about the Lenovo UMPC but enjoy the pics!
Finally, we have some additional pics of other mobile devices. One appears to be a WiBro branded UMPC but it’s not clear what the model is and one definitely is the Samsung Q1 Ultra again. Enjoy!

Car PCs are cool, but re-fit that idea to a chopper and it comes out way cooler. I mean, this bike is what you get when you combine the efforts of Intel, OCC (Orange County Choppers), and Black Diamond.
Those three are pretty much the best at what they do, and as such the three of them coming together is near epic. The PC on board is all-weather, and can also withstand the vibrations and movement of the bike itself, but wait until you hear everything the computer can do.
It has a fingerprint recognition system that acts as the ignition, no key required, then there is a digital dashboard that not only brings you all sorts of technical data both on the bike and the computer, but it is also good for entertainment and even offers up web access. Instead of rear-view mirrors, there are a couple of LCDs and a pair of rear mounted cameras that serve the same purpose, this thing has Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS and can do a lot with all of those. The SwitchBack PC, which is the computer in this bike, will cost you between six and ten thousand dollars, and then you have to buy a bike to have it all mounted to.

Clarion’s high-end in-car entertainment systems have been edging onto ultraportable PC territory for a while now, and they’ve finally made the jump into bed with Intel and launched a Mobile Internet Device (MID) at CES 2008. The Clarion MiND (Mobile Internet Navigation Device) is an ideal example of the chip manufacturer’s digital companion vision: based around a 5.2-inch WVGA 800 x 480 touchscreen and the Intel Menlow platform (comprising the Silverthorne processor and Poulsbo chipset), the device has 4GB of flash memory, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, provision for a 3G data module and/or WiMAX, GPS and a digital camera.
Running a Linux-based OS, the MiND will ship with navigation software, web browser (capable of playing Flash videos from sites such as YouTube), email client, media player, hands-free phone interface, IM client, RSS news reader and image/pdf/office file viewer. An installed docking station for the car will be an option, so that audio and video, navigation and hands-free cellphone calls can be routed through the car stereo.
A pilot website companion for the MiND, currently running in Japan, called Chizuru and Susumu will offer updates for the MiND device, as well as offer POIs, media and other downloads.
Neither an availability date nor a guide price have been released.

So I stopped by the Intel booth last night at the Pepcom event, and they had a nifty little gadget they were showing off. Sadly they said it was an 09 gadget, but it was freaking awesome.
Basically, it was a 4 or 5 inch wide, 2-inch tall LCD or OLED screen that had a bunch of different widgets on it. I tried snapping some more pics of the device, but they kept re-directing me to all the old stuff they already had on offer.
It was completely wireless, didn’t seem to have a name, and I can’t find a single thing on it anywhere else. What I do know, is it was definitely connected to something wirelessly, it was just a few millimeters thick and it was all screen with no bezel, a similar glass front as the iPhone, and it was small enough to fit in the tiny little Coach hand purse in the picture.
