 BenQ S6 Mobile Internet Device (MID)

 

The new BenQ S6 Mobile Internet Device (MID), based on Intel® Atom™ processor, formally launched today, and with it, the dawn of a new era in take-anywhere full multimedia/Internet enjoyment.  A truly standalone innovation, the S6 trumps all other mobile devices by being simply “more” – more powerful than a Smartphone (it operates like a PC and boasts a 4.8″ screen), more mobile than a laptop (at just 6.2″x3.5″x0.9″ and 370g), and more intuitive, stylish, and fun than any other device on the market (featuring a highly advanced user interface).  In fact, the S6 is an extension of its user, offering intuitive operation via touch and motion.  Full HTTP support and high-speed 3.5G cellular and WLAN connectivity empower users with flawless anywhere, anytime Internet – browse, email, and enjoy online videos, images, and digital music without annoying errors, and broken pages. Powerful, fun, and chic, the S6 is the ultimate companion for the ultimate digital lifestyle.

Full Internet Experience in Your Pocket
With notebook-grade web-surfing, e-mail, multimedia, and Office capabilities in a palm-sized device, the BenQ MID is in step with today’s on-the-go, spontaneous lifestyle.  While waiting at a bus stop, users can whip out the slim S6 and be connected to their world in a flash:  email, Google, plus five other favorite functions are just a finger tap away; scroll web pages with an intuitive tilt; rotate the MID to go from portrait to landscape view; a quick shake shows thumbnails of all open files; a swipe of a fingertip flips through photos; attach a picture to an e-mail by simply dragging it onto the message.  No notebook boots up as fast or operates as easily when walking or standing; no mobile phone displays web content nearly as perfectly; neither comes close to being as intuitive.  Engineered for the complete lifestyle, the S6 is also perfect for editing Office files.  Built-in microphone, headphone jack, Bluetooth, and speaker complete user needs.

“The S6 is the full realization of BenQ’s new promise of creating cool, lookin’ great products that enhance consumers’ daily lives.  It gives you complete Internet control in the palm of your hand, allowing you to navigate the web via an interface that is so highly intuitive, it feels completely natural and is actually very fun,” said Giorgio Bignoli, Vice President BenQ Europe. “Such complete connectivity – uncompromised by size or mobility, delivered in a high-tech, stylish form – will enhance user lifestyles, making them feel great and look great.”

“Intel is very pleased to work with BenQ and TIM in bringing this exciting product, the first of its kind in Europe,” said Alberto Spinelli, Product Marketing Strategy Director INTEL EMEA .  “BenQ’s MID is based on the new Intel Atom processor, which delivers the highest performance in the sub-3Watts category. Adding the communication infrastructure services provided by TIM BenQ device really sets a new standard for a great pocket able user experience.”

The Intel Atom processor is Intel’s smallest processor based on the world’s smallest transistors and is the basis of enabling the best Internet experience in Mobile Internet Devices thanks to its low power consumption for small devices with longer battery life. Intel believes that the MIDs category is one that will show long-term growth thanks to the increasingly pervasive nature of the Internet and the trends accelerating this growth including social networking, user generated content, and location-based services.
