Honestly, as silly as it seems, I think the terms *do* make a difference. Phone, Smartphone, MID, UMPC (tablet), Netbook (ultraportable laptop), Laptop, & Desktop are terms I think we will be hearing for a long time. MID would be an N8x0/900 & iPod Touch, while a UMPC would be a larger tablet that can't be fit inside your pants pocket. That's the determining factor right there. I come from the smartphone world, and I know what a smartphone is... but the MID category is definitely a new idea for me, and I'm liking it. As for the other terms, a netbook is obviously a limited, ultraportable laptop, and it's much easier to say too!

There's nothing wrong with being paranoid when money is involved is there? I thought that was just natural for humans to look after their best interest...
