Moblic E7 Wimax Gaming MID Spotted

Posted on 22 February 2010, Last updated on 22 February 2010 by

There’s always a surprise or two on the last day at an exhibition. I spotted this newbie on the Sequans booth at MWC and it wasn’t until I reviewed my photos this evening that I bothered to look any further into it. It turns out to be quite interesting.

The Moblic E7 has a 4 inch WVGA touchscreen in an attractive body which includes a slider keyboard, a 600Mhz CPU, 8GB Flash, Wimax Support, Micro SD card and a huge, 2000mah battery. As for the details on the CPU, we’re not sure although the Wimax chipset supplier (Sequans) mumbled something about Atom before confessing he really knew nothing about it. The large battery does suggest a hefty CPU though so maybe this is a Moorestown handset!

More likely is that it’s a 3D-capable ARM Cortex-A8 platform than anything with Intel inside and that would pair nicely with the 256MB RAM for some full-on Internet or gaming action. OS is unknown at this point although we I note that Mobilc announced a partnership with Microsoft in the middle of this year. Maybe it’s a Zune-Xbox-Windows 7 Series thingy!!!

We managed to tease it out from behind glass but only had time for pics and a look around the device which felt very well built. Obviously we’ve sent off an email requesting more details.

You can clearly see that this is designed for gaming on the go.

Definitely a competitor to the ODroid. What do you think?

    it got a key with a house on it on the keyboard, but beyond that nothing that looks like a android set of buttons.

    and i would say that the cpu speed and ram size mentioned precludes anything that can handle a full sized windows install.

    seems to me like its in the same ballpark as the openpandora ;)

    Yeah. Tend to agree there. Being a Pandora-a-like is not a bad thing.

  3. William Shipley says:

    except the pandora has a decent d-pad, bigger screen, bigger keyboard, much bigger battery, and isn’t run by microsoft! This has none of that.

    OS is Windows CE

  5. Steve 'Chippy' Paine says:

    A lot of these demonstrators at exhibitions run CE just because it’s easy to use while a customer is being found. Android, Maemo etc would all be possibilities here.

    screw this . I am getting Openpandora!!!

  7. teh.sean says:

    Did this have shoulder buttons as well?

  8. mrSilkie says:

    Support the team guys, the people at openpandora are literally pouring their heart and souls into the thing just to see a competitor snatch away their oportunity like this would really break my heart.

    Wimax offer more bandwidth and more services than traditional microwave communications. *-*
