Word of the Medion RIM 1000 ultra-portable PC began surfacing a couple of months ago and there was even a short video of the mystery device that surfaced on YouTube. The RIM 1000 is interesting because it has what appears to be a very usable keyboard that slides out from the device. SlashGear has gotten their hands on the Medion device and posted a few photos of it and I must admit it’s an intriguing little PC. It’s pretty cool that the photos show the RIM to be running Vista. The known specs are as follows:
- CPU: Via C7–M 1.0 GHz
