Why would MIDs go this route, but not tablets? We've got (IMO, though I don't have benchmarks) better performance/power in the tablets, and if they get used with external monitor and keyboard, the larger size of MIDs becomes entirely a disadvantage. They seem to be better positioned to take this route to dominance...
