"Phwoar" is a traditional term referring to something attractive, and Elektrobit's MIMD, a sexed-up version of Intel's reference design for "Mobile Internet Devices," i.e. next-gen UMPCs, gets the a resounding one for its backlit keyboard and black finish. It won't be on offer for quite a while, presumably, as it sports the forthcoming mobile Menlow CPU from Intel, pegged for 2008 on the roadmap that accompanied the platform's Beijing announcement in April.
With its dark, 1980s styling, it looks a bit like Airwolf, except it's got Mobile WiMax, HSDPA, GPS, and a 5" screen instead of enough of Ernest Borgnine's shedded nasal hair to stuff a mattress.
