Dell’s Streak Android-powered MID passes through the FCC

Dell passed a device called the M01M through the FCC this afternoon.  Dell describes the unit as a ‘Mobile Internet Device’, and as Engadget points out the M01M’s label (above) bears a striking resemblance to the label on the Dell Streak MID.

The test report for the M01M shows quad-band GSM support, as well as support for WCDMA bands I, II, V and VIII (below).  That means the M01M will have 3G coverage pretty much worldwide, including Vodafone, O2 and Orange in Europe, and AT&T in the US.  The device does not have support for WCDMA band IV, however, meaning you won’t be able to use 3G on the M01M with T-Mobile.  The M01M will also feature 802.11 b/g.

Fujitsu’s UH900/U900 LifeBooks make an appearance on the FCC

Earlier this month, Fujitsu announced a compelling multitouch MID called the UH900.  Weighing in at just 1.1 pounds, this tiny clamshell  device sports a 5.6” WXGA multitouch display and Intel Atom Z530 processor.  According to SlashGear, the device will retail for $1,417 in Hong Kong when it is released on December 17, 2009.

Today, the UH900 made an appearance on the FCC in a filing by Atheros.  Fujitsu will actually offer two identical versions of the device, the UH900 for the consumer market, and the U900 for commercial users.

The UH900 seems like a good compromise between a netbook and cell phone, although the 5.6” screen does sound a bit small for long spans at the keyboard.  Integrated 3.5G WWAN makes the UH900 a good option for mobile web surfing and checking email, and the Z530 Atom will be a nice improvement over current Atom processors.

Although there’s not a whole lot to see, the much-anticipated Archos 9 tablet, aka the Archos 7900, has hit the FCC.

With Wifi, WWAN and bluetooth this MID definitely is wireless goodness, and I can’t wait for it to hit the states this fall.
