Aldi stores are now busy promoting the Akoya Mini E1210. Akoya E1210 was announced at IFA 2008 and it was then announced that the Aldi stores would be selling it. Now, here is the price: just £272! That is it!

Here comes the boring part. It is just-another-MSI-wind-clone.

  • Intel® Atom™  Processor 1.6GHz
  • Windows® XP Home Edition (includes SP3/OEM version)
  • 10-inch widescreen display
  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 160 GB Hard Drive
  • High Bandwidth Draft-n Wireless LAN
  • Stereo loudspeakers
  • Integrated Webcam with Microphone.

I was not able to get any information on the battery supplied.

For those of you who don’t know about Aldi: It is a (discount) supermarket.

HTC Touch Diamond backlight permanently dying?

There is a post at XDA-developers, where the people are complaining that after using the Touch Diamond for few months, the backlight goes down permanently! The screen’s backlight does not come up even after reverting back to the original firmwares. This clearly signifies that it is not due to firmwares as other HTC Diamonds are working fine.

Flashing the base ROM gives the following error:

MicropERROR
Microp Version Mismatch 0
Please update latest Microp firmware

I don’t know what it means. It is too early to make out, if the problem is hardware-related. I hope it is software-related because then, the issue can be solved via releasing firmware. But, if it is hardware-related, then HTC will have to deal with millions of Diamond owners from all over the world.
