Blue Magic: Ramos W7 Android MID Event & Details
| by Rob Jackson on December 11th, 2009 |
Many months ago there was a mysterious Android MID that popped up at Pocketables – that was back in August.
On September 25th it was unveiled as the Ramos W7 MID at a press event in Shenzhen, China and PCPOP (translated) was able to capture some of the action:
We also got our first taste of specs:
- Rockchip RK2808 chipset
- 600MHz processor
- 4.8″ capacitive touchscreen
- WiFi connectivity
- 780p support
- MKV, AVI, RMVB formats
- 2 mm thick at its thinnest point
- 10 mm thick at its thickest point
- 8 GB and 16 GB versions
- Retail for around $191 and $235 (depending on version)
It has been quite awhile since we’ve heard anything at all about the device, let’s see – 1, 2, 3 months – but we finally have some news. And it’s kind of disappointing – the Ramos W7, which seems to be nicknamed Blue Magic, will only be running Android 1.5. This is according to Chinese Forum iMP3.net (translated), who also snagged a bunch of pictures at the Beijing event:
We’ll keep you posted as more details arrive… you know, definite price, areas of availability, upgrades to 1.6/2.0 – those types of things. You likey?

Nice looking tablet. I’d buy it if it were Android 1.6/2.0. I like all these tablets/MIDs from Dell, Archos, Camangi hitting the market before Apple’s rumored tablet. Now if they only had the marketing.

I likey! I don’t care what it runs cause if you read the version it runs it seems to be a modded version which means if you have any skills at all you could easily port atleast1.6 upto 2.0 on it I for one am buying this thing and root a toot tootin it into a baby beast tablet
