I’m heading to Reno for the weekend and if I see a BenQ-sponsored table on the casino floor, I’m putting some money down that a wider launch of the S6 MID, which has so far only been released in Italy, is imminent. Why? Because not only does the 3.5G-enabled Atom MID now have its very own set of product pages on the BenQ Global site, but it’s also the star of a new video "user guide" that was uploaded on YouTube just three days ago. Judging from its inclusion on the BenQ site, it’s safe to assume that the 2.5-minute demo is an official promo highlighting the MID’s "free-surf" user interface.
See the video, as well as a few press shots and the specs chart, below.
If the product pages and video don’t inspire enough confidence for you to bet that a beyond-Europe release is coming soon, take a look at the frequency bands listed in the network/connectivity area of the specs.
Thanks, Rav4Fun!



















It is already available in Spain. See umpcportal.com
Ooh, that 1900 band looks US tasty! No 3G for us, tho?
Travis,
Where do you read that about Spain? I check umpcportal.com and only see Italy like stated in the article above. Also, Spain is in Europe so it not included in beyond-Europe speculations.

My bad. I meant Italy.
Travis,
Okay then it is the same release that Jenn write about already then. Thank you, I thought I missed the info about Spain.

3G module? From who? Option Wireless and is it HSUPA?
Nokia made 3 internet tablet devices with no success… I don’t believe this one will be different.
But, when I saw it has an Atom processor, I thought things gonna be different!
With x86 instructions, you can install some *REAL* OS, like windows XP or some flavour of Linux.
The only problem is the scroll on the left side… somebody will have to make it work
