I have had a HP Mini 1000 mi since Monday and I must say I am rather impressed with this UI (I am writing this on it right now). I have been a linux user for many years, but this takes the ease of ubuntu up to a whole new level. I still find myself turning to the terminal fairly often (the apt-get front end that comes with MIE is limited to HP approved applications). There are a few bugs that hopefully will be cleared up with an update soon, but I have not encountered any show stoppers yet. All-in-all the whole HP Mini 1000 mi package is damn sweet.

Oh, I should have mentioned, MediaStyle is absolute CRAP, it is based on Elisa which is great for very basic media playback if controlled by a remote, but with a mouse it is hugely inefficient and annoying to use. It also offers no internet based media options, no last.fm music (not that the speakers are worth listening to music on), no youtube integration or podcast integration, install rhythmbox and boxee for these features, but sadly without the homescreen integration. RSS feeds would be nice as well in the home screen.

Hi Sohier.
I am very interested on learning more about your experience with this product. How is it working with you in terms of accessing different kinds of media. For instance, flash contents, sound formats and stuff like that. Has there been any file format you haven't been able to work with so far?
Thanks
Paulo

Hi Paulo,
I have found that HP MIE is pretty good, flash 10 works out of the box, no serious problems with audio (the speaker quality is not amazing, its a bit of a challenge to get USB audio working and the headphone jacks audio quality is rather bad, though that might be caused by a software filter of some sort). As soon as I got the HP I loaded up the terminal and installed VLC so I have not really experienced the default media codecs.
