Mac OS X hacked to run on UMPC, tablet fans rejoice

I am tablet fan.
Good news :)

I'm all for mac modding but this is just silly, I'd feel really stupid sitting on a train with that white block in front of me, why not just buy a windows/linux whatever based UMPC & install X86 OSX on it.

And here is another link with the Interview we made of the guy who created this Tablet Mac, back in October at the Mac Expo London : http://www.pomcast.com/wp/?lp_lang_pref=en&p=495 - You can also watch it on iTunes at http://www.pomcast.com?s=en&c=its (It's show number 018)

Uh, My MBP looks more portable, more usable, and certainly more elegant.

Well, other comments have already said it, but that's not an Asus, that's Peter Green's modded Mac MKIII. I interviewed him about it recently:

I was referring to the poster who posted the home brew mini video without really mentioning it and seemingly implying it was the Asus box and generally creating a horrid piece of writing.

Honestly, this place needs editors, not just bloggers.

Here's a link to a page with the actual video of Mac OS X running on the Asus tablet. Good follow-through, TUAW!

I agree with starno, it's just a Mac Mini crammed in a case with a little screen and a battery. And yes, James, I did watch the video. At 25 seconds in, you can see the back of it, and there are all the Mini's ports. Congrats to Peter Green for making it, it is neat, but it's not a "hacked version of Mac OS X 10.4.7 installed on an Asus R2H UMPC."

Did you even watch the video?

so he had to buy a mini and a windows UMPC? I hope he's running parallels to at least give him the feeling that he hasn't spent too much... :)
