Inbrics is not a name known in the US at all. But head to their native Korea and you’ll see that they’ve been in the market for quite a few years and are known for making innovative products in the VoIP market. Announced at the CES 2010, I had talked to their Marketing Director Bobby Cha last week about their products but one of their offerings immediately stood out to me, their Inbrics MID M1.

Inbrics M1 delivers entertainment everywhere. It (Inbrics MID M1) includes Wi-Fi wireless networking, along with an Google Android based OS and web access wherever there is a wireless network.

While this could be seen as another MID (Mobile Internet Device) after a lot of failed or quickly forgotten attempts in the last few years – remember the OQO 02, Microsoft Origami, Nokia N810? – but after talking to the Inbrics US Marketing Director, I feel like his one statement about the timing being better now than the prior offerings being akin to how the Apple Newton didn’t exactly set the PDA world on fire, but the Palm offerings came later and found a market ready and willing for a PDA.

Taking a look at the Inbrics MID M1, it is everything that most of the prior MIDs were not. Thin, powered by an OS that’s meant to be portable and lightweight. And above all… it’s downright sexy. There’s been a few videos that were released last year, but above is the final product. Currently running Google Android 1.5, Inbrics is quickly making its way towards 2.0, if not 2.1 very soon in time for their upcoming release. I would love it if they included WiMAX too.

UPDATE: Just heard from Inbrics that the MID M1 will indeed have WiMAX built-in.

As far as the form factor goes, if it’s released and has a great price, I might have a replacement for my Nokia N810 that Nokia has seen fit to stop updating and supporting. Price and delivery TBA.
