Yes you read it right. We feel it’s not going to be easy and you might be in great deal of issues. But one of our reader Igor sent us this email.
Today I had too much free time on my hands and didn’t know what to do with it so I picked up my Asus R2H and installed Mac OS X 10.4.7 on it (yes you read it
right). After some try-and-errors I finally managed to install it. Errors during installation were caused by my bad installation DVD. After replacing it the installation went very smooth. The installation process took about 45 minutes. The installation is not designed for 800 x 480 resolution, so you cannot se back and next buttons.
OS boot takes about 1min and 10 sec. UI is pretty slow, but it is not that annoying. This is most annoying Screen calibration is off, Most of the devices don’t work except Bluetooth and LAN. Will try to find as many drivers I can.
Not just the email he had sent us some pictures too.

For those of you who bought your Asus R2H and are eligible for the FREE Vista Express Upgrade program, go ahead and redeem it.
When you buy a qualifying Windows Vista Capable PC between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007, you may be eligible for an Express Upgrade to Windows Vista.
Too bad I ordered mine on 25th of Oct! I guess you might receive it only when the rest of the world would.

The company has introduced the all in one multi functional device, that is a PMP, Phone, UMPC, Camera, etc… Wish we had a simple good looking not so pricey UMPC that would rock the market. Though the device looks very similar to the much awaited Averatec AHI (except for it’s odd color combinations)
… it’s new wireless IP-based hybrid portable device equipped with dual OS, dubbed ‘HDPC (Hybrid Dual Portable Computer)’. As the name ‘HDPC’ signifies, its built-in module offers various functions of multiple devices such as digital camera/web camera, MP3P, portable storage, and USB cable.
According to MIU, you can also make a call with the M*free at lower price than conventional mobile phones with better quality than existing VoIP service by utilizing the company’s exclusive IP-based telephone communication which is different from conventional VoIP service.
The M*free is expected to be available in the first half of next year and the price would be between 700,000(KRW) and 800,000(KRW).
That’s ~ US $765 to $875.
