DoCoMo Lynx SH-10B, 5 inch, 227 grams (0.5 lbs)
Great form factor for mobile productivity with Android (+Google apps) a Snapdragon platform and a 5MP camera. Unfrotauntely, as with most Sharp devices, it's unlikely to be available outside Asia.
eviGroup Wallet, 5 inch, 200 grams (0.44 lbs)
Full specifications unknown. Expected availability in May 2010
Dell Streak, 4.8 inch, 225 grams (0.5 lbs)
With a complete Google application set and marketplace, this is one of the first MIDs to offer such a complete operating system package. We are doubting that too many people will use this to replace a phone but the facility will ensure that it's available through carriers. As a reader, navigation device, HQ web and video browser in a pocket-sized, lightweight format, the Dell Mini 5 has a lot going for it.
Archos 5 Internet Tablet, 4.8 inch, 182 grams (0.4 lbs)
Acer M900, 3.8 inch, 188 grams (0.41 lbs)
USI MID-160, 5 inch, 200 grams (0.44 lbs)
Looks great from the outside. Specifications look acceptable too although there may be some resistance from people who are looking for a slide-out keyboard. At 15mm thick and weighing only 200gm, this is on the leading edge of MID designs.
Archos 605 Wifi, 4.3 inch, 190 grams (0.42 lbs)
Not quite a mobile internet device due to lack of Bluetooth tethering capability. OPera browser is also slow and not as rich as, say, the Nokia N800. As a media player for internet content though, this is a great little package. Watch out for the extra cost of additional codec support and the browser license.
Sony Mylo 2 (COM-2), 3.5 inch, 193 grams (0.43 lbs)
Nokia N810, 4.1 inch, 226 grams (0.5 lbs)
Sharp EM One, 4.1 inch, 250 grams (0.55 lbs)
