MID - Mobile Internet Device.  See SmartQ, CrunchTablet, even the Archos
devices.

PMP is a Portable Music Player.  Most MIDs can do music.

If the Palm PDAs had WiFi, they'd qualify as MIDs.  They may not have had
the functionality of today's Android devices, but they got the price point.
I'm not sure I'll ever buy a $400 tablet.
