iKit by iMovio – What is exactly? A netbook or a sibling to the handheld?

According to iKit’s website, it is”Think of the iKIT as a mini laptop without the complexity. It’s built like a laptop with a rugged processor and Linux based operating system, but that’s where the comparison ends.

It’s the ideal chat, email and internet accessory because it contains all the essentials without the size and cost. With several key multimedia features like music and video as well a video camera for VoIP video conferencing and you have the ultimate mobile-communicator.”

This device reminds of the Sony UX50 handheld device, which was released 5 years ago. Specifications are also quite same. The only two difference I see is the use of Linux OS and cheaper price. UX50 retailed at around $650 at that time. Sure, this won’t cost that much as time and technology has changed a lot. It is planned to be launched at Q3 of 2009. I would love to get my hands on one of these though to see how well the linux runs on it
