How many of you suffer from the burden of pockets chock-full-o'-gadgets? (iPhone users need not apply, I suppose...) But even for those iPhone users: Wouldn't you like all the functionality and diversity of services but in a style reminiscent of the Early 90's Zack Morris Cell Phone?
Then, boy, does Korea have the answer for you! Introducing the Miu Hybrid Dual PC! (HDPC)
First, to dissect the name: Hybrid describes the wide array of functions it combines. It's a cell phone, internet phone, game machine, digital camera, IPTV, and MORE! The Mia Hybrid Dual PC also has two 1W speakers, BlueTooth 2.0, multiple input devices, (ranging from a QWERTY keyboard to gaming controllers to touch screens), and your choice of a 500 MHz or 1 GHz processor. Each HDPC can accommodate up to 60 gigs of storage space.
Impressively, the 'Dual' portion of the product's name originates from its dual OS configuration. Each Miu is loaded with XP and linux Qplus. Users simply choose their OS upon booting the device.
The only drawback is the unit's size. 6.4" x 2.6" x 1" portable devices will only fit in the pockets of most NBA centers. In addition, the HDPC weighs a few pounds, so you'll also have to invest in a new belt to hold those pants up.
Basically, the name of Miu's game is flexibility. The HDPC is the Swiss Army Knife of mobile technology. Don't start drooling yet: It's only available in Korea, and plans have not yet been announced for a US release. But, if you have $400-$500 US burning a hole in your pocket, and you're fluent in Korea, have at it!
