Lenovo's Ideapad U8 MID teases with Intel's Atom

The device also features "Live GPS," hand writing recognition, and support for MS Office applications. We're guessing it'll also make a phone call or two with that 12-key numeric pad. And with Intel calling this a MID, don't expect to see a Microsoft OS riding that Atom, this pup's looking Linux to the bone. Check the video after the break.
