Now, this is something that I don’t admit regularly but here is a MID that actually is worth salivating over,

With this Mobile Internet Device BenQ seems to have nailed almost everything on their MID S6.

They have crammed in an 800MHz Intel Atom CPU, 4.8-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, 512MB DDR2 RAM, a 2GB SSD, Bluetooth 2.0 / WiFi, microSD slot, inbuilt “G-Senser” for “direct touch and free movement to surf on internet,” and support for a myriad of multimedia file formats.

I think it’s a pretty cool looking thing and now that they’ve settled on simply calling it the MID S6 instead of Aries2 I await for further information

This is what Lenovo is teasing us with and it’s fitted with Intels new Atom.

Unveiled at Intel’s IDF in Shanghai, the new Ideapad U8 device features a 4.8-inch touchscreen display and bullseye, optical mouse for single-handed operation while surfing the web via EDGE or 3G data.

The handheld also features “Live GPS,” hand writing recognition, and support for MS Office applications - it praps could even be used as a phone - check out the numeric pad.

With Intel calling this a MID, don’t expect to see a Microsoft OS being run on it.
