- Intel's Mobile Internet Device Revealed Intel's latest gadget is a MID (Mobile Internet Device) that's designed for both work and play Its 45nm dual-core "Silverthorne" processor keeps the device running cooler and longer. The Intel Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 represents an innovative collection of energy-efficient silicon building blocks and technologies designed to enable manufacturers to deliver a new category of small, truly mobile devices This second-generation ultra-mobile platform powers exciting, new Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) for consumers or Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) for business and education segments. Ultra-mobile Intel architecture components can enable compelling features and functionality of a PC with the convenience of a more pocketable solution for lifestyles on-the-go. Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) -- MIDs personalize a new category of small, truly mobile consumer devices enabling a PC-like Internet experience, coupled with the capabil...

This follow up to the first Sony Mylo builds upon its predecessor and adds a 3.5-inch touch screen, 1.3-megapixel camera, 1GB of built-in memory, and a host of multimedia/internet functions.

- Intel unveiled a new post-PC computing form-factor based on embedded Linux MIDs are smaller and more appliance-like than the clunky UMPC (ultra-mobile PC) concept co-launched about a year ago by Intel as the UMPC and by Microsoft as Origami. Whereas UMPCs have 5- to 7-inch displays and boot the slow-moving Windows GUI, MIDs have 4- to 6-inch displays, boot simplified Linux-based UIs with "instant-on" performance, and offer consumer price points Another way to think of MIDs might be as devices mid-way between mobile phones and computers. On the software side, Intel's MID designs will run a Red Flag "MIDinux" distribution. Intel and Red Flag began researching the distribution in 2005 MIDinux is based on 2.6.20 and later Linux kernels, while the versatile filesystem-aware GRUB bootloader will do the booting honors. Startup time is sped up by the known, limited peripheral set, as well as a "fast resume" technique said to save time compared with Linux...
