What I mean when I say MID is a device that will run everything that runs on my desktop - as long as memory/CPU-requirement don't prevent it.
While the N900 has more horsepower and might be able to run resource-hungry applications in theory, I cannot imagine Abiword/Gnumeric/Xchat/... on a 3.5"-screen with those giant Maemo5-UI-elements. (See how the Xchat preferences screen already is too big for the N8x0. No way it would be useable without major rework on a smaller device.)
Also I expect a MID to be a perfect video playback device. On the N8x0, subtitles in DVDs are barely readable, even if the film plays fullscreen and is cropped to 15:9. I'm almost certain they're imposssible to read on the N900.
After 3 years with all internet tablets Nokia produced so far, I know they are almost perfect for my needs, only a little bit too small. Making them even smaller isn't going to help.

Oh, and of course, the no keyboard requirement. With the amount of buttons on it, you could say it manages that one very well...

I would like at least 5MP camera. Multitasking.

I prefer Omnia HD better than iPhone even if it's not exactly HD

Can't handily dig up the Nokia link, so here's a blog mirror.
The operating time info there reads:
Always online: Up to 2-4 days (TCP/IP connected)
Talk time: Up to 5hrs WCDMA, 9hrs GSM
Active online usage: Up to 1+ day
(Which, I think is, pretty much what you said.)
