Features
-
The majority of MIDs are targeted at mobile professionals who need to access email, web and word processing applications on the go. Larger screens, more powerful processors and more complete operating systems make these devices appealing in the corporate sector, but the devices are expensive compared to smartphones.
Value
-
In order to usefully compare devices, it's important to understand the basic features and their value to the end user. For example, a large screen on a regular cellphone isn't necessarily a selling point but a MID must have a larger than average screen to enable the user to read and write accurately.
