UMID F1 is a revolution of technology. It is a computer device combining mobile PC, navigation and multimedia, which is especially made for cars. The idea of having an ultra-mobile computer for me is pretty interesting. It is a full touchscreen computer, so everything is really at the tip of my fingers and the stylus. Let’s take a brief look at what the seven-incher can deliver.

The package comes with the UMID F1 PC body, a car-kit with car charger; a battery pack; an AC adaptor; a cradle, an air-suction cup; a stylus; a pouch and a remote control.(Driver Download here)

The PC has a Samsung 7” WVGA TFT LCD. The screen is highly sensitive and easy to use. The stylus is cleverly hidden on the top left hand corner and there’s a microphone and remote control sensor on the top right hand corner. Although it is claimed to be made for car, with dimensions of 192 x 125 x 25 mm, it’s pretty convenient to carry around.

It can stand on the cradle like this and fits just perfectly for a car. There is a built-in SiRF III Antenna and GPS Module for smooth navigation. The graphics are 3-D and look very attractive.

Here’s the car charger so that you won’t experience a blackout even during long distance travelling.

There is a USIM port for WiMAX/HSDPA, ATSM Cable Port, Mini USB port and Expansion I/O Port on the left side of the body. It also supports WiBro, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connection, going on line with this device is as smooth as any other bulkier PCs.

There are two USB 2.0 ports and a Headphone/Speaker Line Out on the right side of PC.

The cradle can be turned 360-degree around. It is convenient for whoever sitting in the car to view it.

The device has no operating system included in the package. It is XP, VISTA and Linux compatible, so you can install your own OS. The CPU is a VIA C7-M Processor (128Kbyte L2 Cache / 1.2GHz FSB) which is the smallest CPU Package. To prevent driving under influence, there is a pre-installed alcohol sensor to for instant breath test. It really is a multi-tasking device.
