Recently there has been quite a bit of activity in the world of Mobile Internet Devices (MID). What does this new class of computing device have to offer the web worker?
Lets begin with hardware. For the most part, MID’s include:
- Large, bright screens that are high resolution (for their size)
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- Touch screen or hardware based-keyboard
- Media expansion through SD Cards
- Bluetooth for use with wireless keyboards and other devices
- On-board camera
Mix this fantastic array with the right software and the result is a productive device for staying in touch with your business contacts wherever you can get a Wi-Fi signal. MIDs allow workers to easily communicate via email, IM, Chat, and blogging. Additionally, with office productivity applications you can create and edit office documents, gain web access, and watch audio/video files for entertainment.
