About

A MID is a portable device similar to an Ultra Mobile PC,PDA, or a Tablet PC.
But all MID's have 2 to 5.8 inch displays,and often run a flavor of embedded Linux with an simplified UI only.
Only three popular Intel-based MID's with dual-core technology use Windows XP or Vista as an option to it's lineup.
MID's are more low-end but not lacking.
Internet,GPS,Messaging, and basic Media features like a Personal Media Player are their high selling points.

Most MID's have RAM under 1 gig(and often under 512mb even),2 to 6 hour battery life,and use memory cards for expansion.
MID's are often mistaken for UMPC's,as they are very similar.
But remembering UMPC's use Windows and offer bigger screen space is a given
