"After all, who wants to buy an MID when a netbook isn't exactly any less practical at a fraction of the cost? "

Exactly! Why is it that with all the brains they have working for them, companies like Intel are still surprised by this? Netbooks are far more practical, powerful, cheaper and easier to use and upgrade and for the rest of the market the mobile phone as an internet device does perfectly well. I really don't see the point of MID's in 99% of their incarnations.

Also the iPhone kinda stole most of the MID market. However it is not technically a MID as it doesn't run intel atom processors.

I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about 'mobile internet devices' and what the diiference is between those and garden variety PDAs and PMPs with interney capabilities. But just looking at the keypad layout on that thing, I know what I\d rather type on - a netbook's near-full size keyboard.

I'd love to have one of those, provided it's from Apple with OS X touch screen.

A Bigger version of iphone/ipod to replace my netbook - I hate those with 1024x600 resolution
