The Gigabyte M528 is a ultra-portable Mobile Internet Device that is scheduled for release later this year. The mobile device is powered by an 800 Mhz Intel Atom processor, 512 Megabytes of on board Ram, a 4 Gigabyte Solid State Disk and integrated graphics.
The screen dimensions are 4.8″ with a maximum dimension of 800×480 pixels and a touch panel. Other specs include Bluetooth 2.0, Wireless Lan 802.11b/g a 300k Pixel webcam and a 3M Pixel Auto Focus Camera, a QWERTY keyboard with backlight and integrated GPS and 3G.
It runs on Linux and comes preinstalled with a browser that is based on the Firefox 3 engine, Open Office, Skype and the Instant Messenger Pidgin.
The suggest retail price for Europe will be around 700 Euros and $750 in the United States but it is likely that Gigabyte will try to cut some deals to reduce the price tag.

$750 is way to much I think. Here in Ukraine you can have ASUS EEE Win 4Gb for about $450.
What’s the point to pay $300 more? Only to get smaller device? Hmm.
I could imagine paying that much for a device that has at least 64 GB storage and runs a full KDE environment. It looks like the device could handle the KDE, so it’s mostly an issue of storage space. And 64 GB of solid-state storage is _expensive_ today.
Well yes it is small, a pocket PC rather than a netbook that has to be stashed in a bag. I was also a bit astonished at the big price differences between netbooks, like the Asus Eee PC & MSI Wind and those ultra portable mobile Internet devices.
