HOTT MD500 MID, a Device Created With Huge Public Input
Aug 18, 2010 Almost a tablet
It’s interesting to see how some products come to life after a long research, with the perfect example being HOTT MD500, the MID pictured below. This device is based on Android 1.5 and it also uses a Rockchip RK2808A chipset, HDMI out and a podcast feature.
Format-wise, you get support for RM/RMVB, AVI, FLV, MPG, DAT, VOB, MP4, ASF, WMV, MKV, TS, DIVX, XVID and 720p support even. Too bad we don’t know what the display diagonal of this MID is… 7 inch, 9 inch maybe?

Eston N97, Just Your Average Android MID
Aug 7, 2010 Almost a tablet
Eston N97 is an Android MID that was announced all the way back in November 2009. Only now it shows its head, with a couple of specs that aren’t at all impressive. They include a 624MHz Marvell PXA303 processor, Android 1.5, a 7 inch resistive touch display, 256MB NAND Flash and 128MB RAM.
WiFi is also on board, as well as miniUSB connectivity, a 3.5mm audio jack and a 3.7V 5000mAh battery. The latter provides 4 hours of Internet surfing, but the rest of the features are pretty rubbish, if you ask us.

Sungworld Makes an “Apple Tablet” With a 7 inch Display, Android OS
Jan 25, 2010 Almost a tablet
Days before the Apple Tablet goes live, here comes the Asian maker Sungworld, with a MID that resembles the Apple iPad. The device runs Android and packs a 7 inch display, plus it comes with an “Apple-style user interface”, in the typical “cloned in China” fashion.
Sungworld’s MID is based on the ARM926 platform and it packs 512MB RAM, a 2GB SSD, WiFi support and compatibility with 1080p video. HDMI out is also on board and the availability is scheduled for the end of this month, or rather next month.
Pricing should be really cheap, considering that the company making this MID launched a $73 netbook last year.

Dell and AT&T to Introduce a MID in 2010?
Nov 18, 2009 Dell
Dell is going to launch an Android smartphone in 2010, that’s for sure and they’ll do it by working with AT&T, but now it seems that this cooperation will spawn yet another product, a MID. China Times claims that Dell will prepare a bunch of MIDs produced by Taiwanese company Qisda.
We don’t have any info on the AT&T-branded MID, that might just be the device pictured above, Dell Streak. This device recently surfaced in Vietnam, running Android 2.0 and packing a 5 megapixel camera, plus support for 3G connectivity and WiFi. An official confirmation is all we need, at this point.

Ramos Android MID Gets Priced and Detailed
Oct 24, 2009 Tablet related
Don’t fret if you haven’t heard about Ramos, since the Chinese manufacturer is not that famous, but they’re able to make pretty good devices, like the MID pictured below. This device runs Android and the folks of Shanzhaiben.com managed to get their hands on the W7 prototype of the MID and get all the needed details.
W7 is based on Google Android and it features the Rockchip RK2808 chipset, plus it sports a 4.8 inch 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen display, 1080p video and WiFi. The tests of the prototype have revealed that Ramos is able to play web-based FLV video, which is great for YouTube users. Too bad that this playback is only available via a plugin implementation, not the browser.
As far as tests have shown, the WiFi on this device is pretty stable, but still the perfomance is suffering because of the metal backing. The USB port and card reader weren’t usable on this unit and if you’re wondering about the price, know that Ramos W7 should retail for $190, in the 8GB version and $234, for the 16GB one. Expect it in stores in November.
