P!nk UMID?
I bought a white UMID mbook some weeks back…now there’s a pink mbook being advertised for sale at http://www.dynamism.com.
Hmm…I don’t know Umid’s move to start pushing out a pink UMID M1 mbook?? Why PINK? It’s not exactly a popular color…I really don’t see sale rocketing for a pink M1 (esp since the M2 is pipped to be out pretty soon) I’m wondering how many of the male gender would get a pink mbook?
My prediction is that the pink UMID will be on special offer in no time..:)
A great gadget for girls, though! It would fit right in my purse (not to mention save my shoulder from my heavy laptop bag).
Hi DuckDuckGoose,
the good news is that the M1 will fit into your purse (assuming it’s quite a large purse..:) as it’s slightl larger than a PSP or a Nintendo DS.
I’m loving mine,warts and all..:)
[...] The Viliv boys pointed out that Dynamism will be selling a limited edition* pink UMID M1 [Portal page]. Though the UIMD M2 is due out sometime soon — I guess the more colors, the better!The pink UMID M1 is $50 less ($449) than the black low-end UMID M1 that Dynamism sells. Unfortunately no, they aren’t giving you $50 off just because its pink… the pink one has a slightly slower CPU – the Atom Z515 at 1.2GHz (vs. 1.3GHz for the low-end black model, or 1.33GHz on the high-end black model). Everything else, however, is the same as on the low-end black model: 8GB SSD, 512MB of RAM, and Windows XP. From the images it is a bit tough to tell exactly how glossy or matte the pink version is, but it appears to be more on the matte side of the spectrum, similar to the black one that I looked at.

Yeah..I thought it’s an interesting move on UMID’s part to sell the M1 in pink..would have thought they will wait for the much improved, Windows 7, 1Giga RAM M2 to launch their rainbow color assault on the MID world.
I could see pink being fine for females, however it is kinda cornering their market with these. Even if I was female I personally would stick with a more standard color in the case I wanted to resell it in the future. I can’t believe there is still no solid news on an actual release date for the m2. Originally heard November, Quarter 4, etc etc. Hoping it does not get pushed back to Q1 2010. (and end up being like march)
Yeah..being a gadgetholic with a high gadget turnover on Ebay..pink isn’t exactly going to score a lot of buyer interest..:)
