3. I take it by 'the level of internet' youmean being able to access web pages. Like the iPhone can? I bet that's more usable and pocketable than an MID. Or perhaps a even more pocketable UMPC?!

2. Jenn, true, but MID devices don't really seem to be taking off - presumably because they are 'just another device to have to carry around'. There is at least the potential for a smartphone that does the internets as good as current MIDs.

What got me about this story was the idea of mobile 1080p - which screen manufacturer is making mobile screens in 1080p resolution, exactly? And anyway, I thought that you couldn't really tell the difference between 720 and 1080 unless you had a >32" TV...

1. "Maybe, but we’re unconvinced about the potential for mobile internet devices when we already have phones that can do the same thing. At least Nvidia, unlike Intel, isn’t going completely down the Mobile Internet Device (MID) route."

That paragraph alone disqualifies you from writing on this topic. No current smartphone, delivers anything close to the level of Internet that a UMPC or MID gives. It's simply not going to happen with the low performance of current processors.
