This uSmart M1C 4.8″ netbook was spotted at a trade show in Hong Kong. That’s an HTC Hero next to it by the looks of things. It’s got the Atom Z530 processor, Intel GMA500 graphics, 800 x 480 resolution, HDMI support and what looks like the most bizarre keyboard layout I’ve every seen (click on the pic above to enlarge).

It runs Linux/XP/Vista/Win7 but I’ll take the Vista spec with a shaker full of salt and it’s a prototype so you can’t grab one just yet. Sheesh, 4.8″, and you thought the Eee 7″ was hard to use. [via Cloned in China]
