Oh well, finally Jen-ii, formerly known as Makcik PC has been destined to meet the world. You gotta believe it!

It is reported that Jen-ii is ready to be marketed very soon, re-branded for the second time as Idola 1Malaysia. Mimos, who develop this tablet has struct a deal with TM, to market as well as developing content for Jen-II.

I’m not sure what kind of deal is that, but it is most likely that TM will come out with special package consisting of Jen-II and Streamyx broadband. User will pay certain amount of fee for this tablet and tied to the contract for certain period. Well, that’s just my wild guess.

Anyway, I can’t find the detail of Jen-II from Mimos website, so here is some excerpt from the press. Wait, where is original iDola??

Equipped with Wiwi - Combination of Wimax + Wifi adapter
Intelligent Service Delivery Platform (ISDP) - Enables users to pull relevant information from the internet. Will be used to create widgets as well
Comes with 8 buttons — 4 button for community websites and the other 4 reserved for business websites — to execute certain transactions.
SDK will be released for developers to develop application for Jen-II
