Lenovo has unveiled the new gorgeous Ideapad U8 at Intel's IDF in Shanghai.
The sexy MID (Mobile Internet Device) utilizes Intel's newest Atom processor and features a 4.8-inch touchscreen display and an optical mouse for one-handed operation while surfing the web over EDGE or 3G data.
"The device also features “Live GPS,†hand writing recognition, and support for MS Office applications. We're guessing it'll also make a phone call or two with that 12-key numeric pad. And with Intel calling this a MID, don't expect to see a Microsoft OS riding that Atom, this pup's looking Linux to the bone."
