What is a Mobile Internet Device?

Mobile Internet Device (MID, Mobile Internet Device), a new type of Internet terminal that is "bigger than a smart phone and smaller than a notebook". The concept of MID was introduced by Intel in April 2007, and its definition is a product between smart phones and netbooks. According to Intel, it is a top-end pocket computer that can improve the efficiency of high-end customers, meet the needs of the Internet anytime, anywhere, use comfort, and enjoy PC-like Internet fun for a long time. According to the original intention of Intel's design of MID, MID is a terminal larger than a smart phone screen and more portable than a netbook. It mainly meets the needs of users to access the Internet at any time and is also easy to carry. As a portable mobile PC product, a 4-inch to 10-inch screen is used, and the operating system can be Windows, Linux, Android, etc.

MID combined

The right to make decisions about the future of MID lies in the breadth of its applications. For MID to succeed in the short term, several industry applications are essential.

The first is the automotive market, including

1.Portability

From desktops to notebooks, and then from notebooks to MID tablets, computers are becoming more and more portable, and the way humans work, live and learn is changing. It weighs only 420 grams (including the battery), which is equivalent to 100 yuan when closed, which solves the disadvantages of bulky notebooks. For business people traveling and traveling, handheld computers are more portable and can be carried around without feeling a sense of weight, which will become an indispensable tool for business people.

2 , easy to operate

Slide design, QWERTY full keyboard, 5-inch precision touch screen, full support for keyboard, handwriting input, easy operation.

3.Notebook function

Although the appearance is exquisite and portable, but the configuration is very powerful: 1.2GHZ Intel Atom Z515 processor, equipped with a powerful Windows XP system, 1G memory, 16GSSD hard disk, and the laptop belongs to the X86 architecture, far more than other ARM architecture, non-Windows system MID Powerful. The S515 MID has full computer functions and fully meets the requirements of work and entertainment.

4 , mobile office

With full computer functions, XP system supports the most abundant programs in the world: Microsoft office software, QQ / MSN / Wangwang and other instant messaging software, Adobe Reader and other PDF software, Foxmail and other mail systems ... Wherever you are, as long If you have a job, you need to open the computer to work.

5, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth wireless Internet access

EKING S515 MID has three types of 3G network cards: China Mobile TD-SCDMA / China Unicom WCDMA / China Telecom CDMA2000-EVDO. With the opening and improvement of the national 3G network, you can surf the Internet, stock market, and office anytime, anywhere. , Really achieved wireless office Internet access, and realized ultra-portable functions.

EKING S515 also has a built-in WIFI function, whether it is an office building, a hotel, a coffee shop, or an airport, as long as there is a wireless network hotspot, you can access the Internet for free at any time.

6 , wired Internet

The S515 has a rich and user-friendly interface, and can also be connected to the wired Internet to meet diverse online requirements.

7.Recreation

XP system can be installed with a variety of audio and video players such as storm video, window media player, Qianqianjingting, watching movies / listening to music in one go; built-in 300,000 pixel camera, QQ video chat; powerful configuration allows you to play online games as you want !!

8. Online Stocks

As a computer of Intel Atom CPU and XP system, S515 MID can install all stock software: such as "Great Wisdom" stock software; "Flush" stock analysis software. A 5-inch screen larger than a cell phone displays various market trends completely and clearly. Because it has the 3G Internet access function, this way, whether we are in the car or traveling, we can always grasp the stock market, online stocks, online orders, online transactions. Faster response time than mobile phones, no delay, no short-term operation.

9. Rapid development of Android system Android system is developing rapidly. Many domestic manufacturers' machines are equipped with this system, and the Android system is very good in terms of user experience. Currently MIDs basically don't install a keyboard, and installing Android is a very good choice. Of course, there are some other systems in the industry. The market for future MID systems will be highly competitive.

Introduction to the mainstream system of mobile Internet equipment

Global mobile Internet devices (MID) shipments will reach 50 million units in 2013, and the market will be dominated by the Linux operating system.

ABI believes that the MID market will be the first platform to allow all mobile operating systems to be on the same starting point, to get rid of the historical burden of the smart phone market, and enable Linux operating systems to obtain most of the market share.

The so-called MID refers to a multimedia Internet device that is larger than a mobile phone and smaller than a mini-laptop, such as a notebook, which can be put in a jacket pocket. According to the definition of another market research organization, Forward Concepts, MID should have a high-resolution screen with a size between 4 and 6 inches.

The Linux operating systems currently designed for mobile network devices include LiMo, Moblin, and Maemo. Among them, LiMo is a Linux open mobile platform jointly established by six major mobile communication vendors, and Moblin is Intel's Linux open source project, specializing in mobile networks Devices, Netbooks and other embedded devices, Maemo is an open community mobile device platform dominated by Nokia, and the company's Nokia N810 Internet Tablet uses Maemo.

In addition, the application of the Linux platform can integrate the communication function in the MID, which better reflects the definition of the MID.

ABI research director Stuart Carlaw said that with the support of Nokia, Maemo has entered the mobile network equipment market, and Moblin can enter the market through the promotion of Intel and its close integration with Atom. In addition, LiMo is currently active in this market. Compared with Microsoft Windows Mobile, the flexibility, customization, and cost advantages of the Linux platform have established Linux's dominance in this market.

Carlaw analysis, and more importantly, the Linux operating system has the ability to provide an integrated platform across different devices. A single platform that can cover mobile network devices, smartphones and intermediate devices is really attractive.

Forward Concepts also believes that Linux will be the main operating system in this field, and it is estimated that the shipment of mobile network equipment will grow from 305,000 units in 2008 to 40 million units in 2012, reaching a revenue scale of US $ 12 billion.
