Does a Mobile Internet Devices Market Exist? [View article]
My definition for MID would be something like this: the actual device which is little bigger than iPhone (15% more screen area?), with a projection lens on back side. Projected area could be of laptop screen size. This device will have enough processing power to run “atleast” PIII type of processor (good enough for web browsing, emails, and perhaps limited video streams). Using the projector lens, the screen can be projected to a surface (which one?). The iPhone/N95 like device can be connected to bluetooth-based mobile keypad and/or earpiece.
I agree with DeanB that iPhone fans think it is “ultimate” device and cannot understand the context of the discussion. Apple/ATT happily milks this ignorance and attitude on iPhone fans. Although it is good piece of gadget with great interface, iPhone fans fail to realize that it is not cost-effective for the features it provides. 100bucks a month for two years + the continue urge to buy iTunes (more spending), for what ? The same can be done in other ways at much cheaper cost. Just go and look at apple balance sheet and you will release the % profit they make on these puppies. It’s money from ignorant fans…… Good luck to fans and happy losing money…..
