BenQ's S6 MID is entering the fray at the 4.8-inch size with a resistive touchscreen for added stylus input support. The BenQ S6, which will come with a built-in Unicom 3G module (to allow for SIM cards), will be powered by the Intel Atom Z500 processor clocked at 800MHz, will feature 512MB DDR2 RAM, pack an 8GB SSD hard disk, come with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, and sport a 1800mAh battery for "2-3 hours" of battery life. Phew. It will also run on the Windows XP Home operating system by default. All in all, an interesting offering from BenQ, certainly more geared toward a defined use rather than just casual web browsing.
It's really quite thick, though, measuring in at 158mm x 90mm x 22mm and weighing in at 370g (apparently).
