Say hello to NEC's tiny N-08B Windows CE MID deviceWe loved our pint-sized Toshiba Libretto when it came out way back in 1997, and it looks like its spirit will live on in NEC’s new Windows CE-based device for Japan’s NTT DoCoMo – the N-08B.

With netbooks recently overtaking laptops in worldwide sales figures, we were prompted to dig out our trusty old Toshiba Libretto 50 and see how it shaped up to modern rivals.

Toshiba Libretto 50 Ultra Mobile PC- Ten Years On

Released over twelve years ago in January 1997, the Tosh was seen as something of a mini-marvel in its day, being the first mini-notebook computer to both pack an Intel Pentium (hurtling along at 75MHz) and run Microsoft Windows 95.

The Libretto 50 was Toshiba’s second mini-PC, succeeding the Libretto 20 released in the previous April.

The latest l’il Libretto managed to run a full version of the Windows 95 operating system and came with Microsoft Word for Windows 95, Excel, Lotus Organizer 97 and Internet Explorer V3.0 pre-installed.
