Benq MID S6: Mobile Internet Device

Oct 5th, 2008 | By Premnath Sah | Category: Laptop, Mobile

This little MID packs a lot of features like accelerometer and it is not there for sake of being in the spec. Accelerometer is put to good use in S6. You can use accelerometer to rotate the screen portrait/landscape mode, not only the it can be used to scroll the page by holding button in the right and tilting the device. Full touch screen support, Just touch, tilt, rotate, and shake. We think it runs some form of custom linux.
