BenQ MID specification released

Darius Chang | Apr 21, 2008

The first Mobile Internet Device (MID) from BenQ looks more like a personal media player than a fully functional computing device. However, don't let its small size fool you as this machine is more than capable to complement, if not replace, your browsing and email needs.

First unveiled at the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, the Atom-based BenQ MID will hold a 800MHz SilverThorne processor, 512MB of RAM and a 4GB solid-state harddisk. HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are integrated, with GPS radio as an option. Instead of Windows, the BenQ MID uses a custom user interface. No news on when it'll hit retail stores yet, though.
