MIDs Blog

MIDS Blog is determined to cover the latest news and reviews of Intel MIDs, or Mobile Internet Devices, and the Intel Menlow Platform.

MIDs personalize a new category of small, truly mobile consumer devices enabling a PC-like Internet experience, coupled with the capability to communicate with others, enjoy entertainment, and access information on-the-go.

The Intel Ultra Mobile Platform initiative began in 2007 and the first devices introduced were called UMPCs, or Ultra Mobile Personal Computers. As of 2008, the UMPC label seems to be slowly fading into history.

Enter the MIDs. The new Intel Mobile Internet Devices are designed for consumers and prosumers who want a mobile device with near instant-on capabilities, multimedia, email, wireless Internet access and mobile productivity wherever they go.
