AlessiTAB MID packs TV receiver

It makes perfect sense to equip a MID with a built-in TV receiver. After all, one should be able to enjoy while on-the-move with these suave mobile devices. AlessiTAB runs Android operating system; supports multi-touch and features built-in TV receiver. Screen size is not specified, but we expect it to be around 7-inches. This MID boasts battery runtime of 6 hours which should be good enough for 2-3 movies.

C-motech Mangrove – Best Windows Mobile device/MID ever?

Here is a MID from C-Motech that comes with the mighty 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. It is powered by Windows Mobile 6.5. The most interesting thing about this MID is its 7-inch display that has WVGA (800×480) resolution (which is the maximum a Windows Mobile device supports).

C-Motech has worked hard to make this look as sleek as possible. Its huge 3200mAh battery should keep your device running for days. If that was not enough, there is an optional 4000mAh battery, which we think is way too much for a device that is based on ARM-platform. Despite its huge dimensions, it still manages to stay light at 300gm.

It is every single radio that you can imagine: 3G, WiMax, WiFi and GPS. For storage, you get 512MB and for running apps, there is 256MB RAM, which is more than enough for any Windows Mobile application out there.

Meet the very cheap MID – SmartQ 5 MID

The SmartQ 5 MID from China, costs just $130 (900 Yuan) and runs ARM-based Ubuntu. It has a 4.3-inch display with WVGA (800×480) resolution. The display should be crisp at that resolution. It also comes with built-in BT connectivity and WiFi b/g/a. It also comes with some pre-installed applications (StarDict dictionary and FBReader ebook reader).
It may not be running the best CPU around, but we should not underestimate ARM-processor, which powers more than 80% of the phones that we use in our daily life. Also, I need not reiterate the fact how less power the ARM processors consume.
