I managed to snag one minute alone in a storage room with the MTube this afternoon. This thing is so small, I can't believe it's a full PC with a 1.0GHz processor. It just blows my mind having such a small device in my hands. Looking back over my video, the thing is so small that it makes my hands look rather large. I don't mind, the thing is going to be a blast to play with when it comes out. I had no idea this morning when I woke up that I'd be holding a computer of the future in my hands today.
More videos to come, sorry about all the delays, but I'm still trying to recover from this really bad sore throat. Stay tuned!

What OS is the MTube running, something Linux based I hope?!

Yeah, it runs linux, they've got a simplified interface set up for specific applications. I'll be posting more details about the software part of the MTube when I have some more time.

Bjorn, sorry to spoil the party. But whenever I see one of those miniature gadgets with their smallish screens I wonder whether they come with a voucher for having magnifying lenses implanted in your eyes
If you really want to use them for what I believe most people would want a full PC for - surfing the internet - then they would have to have a resolution of 1024 pixels wide and 600 to 800 pixels high.
All the other things you would usually do with a device this size (listen to music, potentially view movieclips and retrieve e-mails) does not require the processing power of a 1 GHz processor and a full fledged OS.

i see no reason why u cant start playing heavy duty games on the small devices in the future... and no matter how much CPU power u give them its always insufficient
