Mobile Internet Devices are becoming quite common these days as people become more and more dependent on several online services. In my case i need to be in constant online contact with my clients in order to keep my internet business up and running. These kind of devices have become my best friends in when maintaining my online connectivity everywhere i go.

Today I’ll be talking about a Chinese Mobile Internet device I discovered some time ago and that I find a very resourceful and powerful device with a very low price when compared to it’s potential.

I’m talking about the SmartQ5 a MID device produced by Smardevices a Chinese Company devoted to create Smart and Intelligent devices that can improve and change their clients way of life. And well thay have changed mine! I bought one of these some months ago and i am really impressed with it’s power and flexibility. And I really mean Flexibility because this device can now run many different operative systems.
