June 26, 2008 was destined to be an extraordinary day. On this day, Huaqi Information released the world's first mobile internet device (MID) based on Intel's Centrino Atom processor technology. Since then, mobile internet terminals have gradually entered people's field of vision, and a brand-new era of mobile internet has begun.

MID stands for Mobile Internet Devices; Intel first introduced this concept at last year's IDF conference in Beijing. We call it ultra-mobile portable notebook! According to Intel, it is: a computer that fits in your pocket. The MID targets consumers who want to access the Internet anytime and anywhere. Compared with laptops, it is about 4-6 inches in size, allowing consumers to put it in their pockets. Although laptops are moving towards miniaturization, the smallest size of 7 inches obviously cannot meet the needs for mobility. Today's mobile phones are limited by relatively small displays and processing capabilities, unable to provide the best internet experience: poor performance, incompatibility, unstable communication, etc. To solve the above problems and meet user needs, the MID came into being!

However, the MID market did not emerge out of nowhere but has been long in the making. Two years ago, all major chip companies, OEM manufacturers, software companies, etc., began developing it, investing heavily to promote the development of the MID industry. The industry has high hopes for this, and Intel even stated that in the next three years, it plans to invest $1 billion in Asia to support PC players in jointly promoting the普及of low-cost ultra-portable PCs and MID network terminals in emerging markets. Such a new and emerging industry is indeed exciting, making people rub their hands in anticipation and eager to try.

With the emergence of a new industry, there will inevitably be industry portals. The MID Enthusiasts Home (www.05992.com) is one of the best examples. It can be considered China's first MID mobile internet portal, a platform for news information, product reviews, and MID user exchanges. It will provide us with the most timely and authoritative industry news and product reviews, enabling MIDs to better serve our lives.
