BenQ S6 MID, cheapest UMPC available?

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Sure, this device might be released a year ago and is a bit bulky compared to other < 5″ devices.  But now Allpmp started selling the BenQ S6 MID for $349.99/€242.49, which is a whole lot less than the €429 when it was released in Italy and about half the price of comparable devices. For this money you’ll get an UMPC with an 800MHz Intel Atom processor, 512MB RAM, 2GB Flash memory, Wifi, a 4.8″ 800×480 touchscreen and UMTS/HSDPA for some good ol’ 3G browsing on the go. It even has a motion sensor, so it’s possible to perform awesome actions, like scrolling a webpage by tilting the device and uhh… other stuff. While it’s far from a powerhouse, the x86 processor means you can install Windows XP on this little device. After the break, you’ll find a corny commercial that demonstrates how you’ll never use the SmartQ S6.

Meizu M8 16GB available at DealExtreme

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Only days after Apple announced the iPhone to the world, rumours started spreading that Meizu would release another Apple inspired product that would blow the iPhone out of the water with much better specs. Before these remours, Meizu already impressed the world by releasing the excellent Nano inspired M6 Mini Player, later dubbed the Meizu SL. When the Meizu M8 was finally released after more than a year of delays, it clearly wasn’t the iPhone killer people hoped it would be. But, this device is still quite good in it’s own right and has enough to offer to stay out of the field of cheap iPhone clones.

It has a beautiful 3.4″ 720×480(more than twice the amount of pixels found on the iPhone) touchscreen, boasts WiFi, runs a custom Windows CE OS, supports a whole lot of media codecs and doesn’t have to be jailbreaked to run whatever you want. The downsides? No GPS, no 3G and dual-band only, so it won’t work in the States. However if you live in Europe and don’t care about GPS or 3G, there are only few similarly priced smartphones that come close to the M8. Otherwise, you might want to wait until the M9 with 3G will be released, probably somewhere in 2010.

The Meizu M8 16GB is now available for $411/€287 at DealExtreme, which is sadly quite a bit more than expected compared to the 8GB version priced at $338.90/€237.
