Remember that no named Netbook we brought you back in November of last year?  Today, it got a bit more official with a name and pricing.

At just 6-inches long, .7-inches wide and .7 lbs, UMID’s mBook is almost small enough to forget that it’s in your back pocket.  Under the hood is your choice of a 1.1 or 1.3Ghz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and up to 32GB of storage courtesy of an SSD.  The 4.8-inch touchscreen will surely lead to neck cramp or two, but I’m impressed with the pixel count: 1024×600.  And the mBook isn’t short on connectivity or communication features.  In addition to the 1.3MP webcam, its got HSDPA, Bluetooth, WiBro (Korean WiMax) and a digital TV tuner with antenna.

The mBook from UMID starts at $465, although a US or UK release have yet to be announced, if ever.
