BenQ's MID Aries2 reportedly set for European launch

For those that have actually waited around and saved their heart for BenQ's MID, we applaud you. Nearly a full year after we initially saw this thing crop up, we're just now receiving word that a launch is imminent. Finally redubbed MID Aries2 (after simply going by BenQ MID for all these months), this handheld computing device will reportedly "be launched in Europe this quarter." Unfortunately, that's all the details we're given, so until we see a finalized specifications sheet, we'll just assume nothing has changed since the last update.

it must be a 3D display as the 'Applications' tab overlays the screen edge!

Is that a photoshop? the graphic around "applications" does appear to extend outside the actual area of the screen into the frame.

Seeing "many pixels" makes you special? Did your mum tell you that?

@OneLove

The meme went completely over your head.

This feels doctored. Not because of the image in the screenshot, but because the top left pixel in the 3D rotating tile is at the very top of the screen. If this tile continued to rotate, then the top left edge would get truncated, which would look bad in the UI.
