CNET Asia have published a review of the SmartQ 7 Mobile Internet Device. 'SmartDevices, a China-based manufacturer, made news earlier this year when it launched the SmartQ 5 MID. Not only is it very affordable at S$299 (US$200.09), the ARM chipset also allows the unit to last for days before requiring a recharge. However, the first revision of the firmware was so buggy that most of the uptime was used waiting for programs to launch or files to open. The company's latest MID iteration, the SmartQ 7, is a larger edition of the original SmartQ 5 with an updated firmware and the option to run Windows CE (the SmartQ 5 has these options as well). Could this be the MID that consumers are waiting for?'
