CHUWI W3000 MID – A MID that runs Windows CE
The W3000 is a local MID from China. It runs Windows CE OS and features an 4.1-inch display with WVGA resolution (800×480). It has a pretty decent battery, 2500mAh which should be more than enough for MID running on an non-x86 chip. It uses Telechips chip which is ARM-compatible.
It has TV-out function, built-in WiFi (b/g/n), GPS, FM radio and a micro-SD card (upto 8GB supported). It comes with a photo-viewer, music as-well-as video player. Dimension: 129 × 76 × 14.5mm
Foxconn to produce Apple tablet
Foxconn is in a contract to produce Apple’s long rumored tablet and it would be launched sometime in Q1 2010
It will have a 10.6-inch screen and more focus will be on e-book functionality rather than music. It will have really good battery life as it is supposed to be an eBook reader first and a computer second. It will have simple to use interface and internet connectivity too.
Nothing is known about exact specs of Apple’s ebook reader tablet.
No wonder Linux netbooks are not selling ‘that’ well! – Microsoft teaches Best Buy to trash Linux
Microsoft has confirmed (to dailyfinance) that it actually DOES train the Best Buy Employees the ‘important’ differences between Linux and Windows Computers. Few Best Buy employees leaked the training slides on the web which depict the Microsoft’s Anti-Linux agenda “Linux does not support many common applications and online services like iTunes, Zune, Quicken, Photoshop, and Office 2007″. They even go one step ahead and simply said “Linux is not safer than Windows”
Our take on the aforementioned claims by MSFT:
1) Linux does not support many common applications and online services like iTunes, Zune, Quicken, Photoshop, and Office 2007:
Linux may not be having the exact apps, but it has alternatives that do the same stuff. All that for free. For Photoshop, one can get GIMP. For Office, Openoffice and many others. There is even an app for syncing music with your iPod!

Easy Computer Sync – Synchronize your netbook easily with other computers
Many people use netbooks as secondary computers and thus have a hard time in keeping their files synced all the time with their main computer(s).
Easy Computer Sync lets you effortlessly synchronize your important data between computers, so your computers always have the most up to date files. Using the industry standard USB Easy Transfer Cable, it lets you transfer data at blazing speeds, up to 480Mbps.
You can choose to synchronize the following your machine:
- My Documents
- My Pictures
- My Music
- My Videos
- Favorites
- Or any other folders you choose
This software will be available on $19.95. However, it does not include the Easy Transfer Cable. If you want the whole package, you will have to shell out $39.95 (including shipping charges).
SmartQ 7 – a super sleek Internet tablet
The SmartQ 7 runs an unspecified Linux distro with specs that include WiFi, a USB-host mode, stereo speakers and claims to have 2 days of battery life (considering you run only music on it). It has 7-inch display with just WVGA resolution. I do not know what the folks at SmartQ thinking when equipping this super sleek device with such low resolution. The standard resolution for the MIDs and netbooks is 1024 x 600, which makes everything very enjoyable and usable.
With so many Windows Mobile phones now coming with WVGA displays, it makes perfect sense to equip the MIDs with higher resolution than the phones to give them an obvious benefit.
HTC TOUCH HD as a Mobile Internet Device (MID)- Review
This time we are going to review it from a different perspective – AS A MOBILE INTERNET DEVICE. If you have been following the windows mobile scene from the past couple of years, you must have observed that the display size of the mobile phones has decreased in size over the years. Whether we all like it or not, but it was the iPhone that brought the big screen to attention to the mobile phone manufactures.
