The Runwei A50 tablet takes the “I” out of “MID”

Runwei A50, MD

Here’s a question: what do you get when you remove the “internet” from “mobile internet device?” Well, according to the Runwei A50, you get an eReader.

At least that’s how Runwei is positioning their new A50 tablet. The Windows CE powered device has a 5-inch 800 x 600 resolution LCD touchscreen and is powered by an ARM9 500Mhz processor with 2GB of memory. The thing is, there’s no WiFi included in the device. Instead of a MID, which is normally what these specs would offer, the A50 is trying to turn itself into an eReader. While there are many PMPs that offer no internet connection and basic eBook reader programs (usually only supporting TXT), the Runwei tablet offers supports for PDF, TXT, XLS, PPT, ZIP, UMD, DOC, HTML and CHM formats (notice the lack of ePub).

In addition to the eBook reader, it’s loaded down with other MID-like features. It has media playback, supports Flash, plays games, has recording, calculator, notepad and paint software, plus a lot more. Still, the lack of WiFi makes it hard to find the tablet desirable. We guess it could open a medical practice. After all a MID with no internet is really just a MD (wakka, wakka, wakka!).
