UMID will officially show its M2 ultra mobile PC at Intel’s Developers Forum, and it has been quite an upgrade over the previous M1. The M2 has an 4.8-inch screen, with a 1024×600 resolution. While the screen remains the same as its predecessor, the M2 actually fares better due to an upgraded design and screen angle. Also making their appearance are an optical mouse and mouse buttons that make redundant the requirement of a USB port dongle.
The M2 will also get a faster processor, 1.2 GHz or 1.6GHz Atom, in place of the 1.33GHz processor on the M1. The RAM has been upgraded from 512MB to 1GB, and the operating system is Windows 7 in place of XP. UMID did put on display a non-working prototype of the new M2, and the fully working unit is expected to make its appearance within this week.
