I have checked almost all of the links in this thread... I didn't find a real Nokia competitor that can stand the N8x0 possibilities.
I am sure most of them look cool, but I am also sure they all have shortcoming Nokia's already addressed.
The N810 is SMALL. Mylo looks like it's the only one small enough (but it's why thicker).
But I am sure Mylo has lots of locks (think DRM) in there.
What about expandability (software-wise) ?
After all I feel comfortable. My IT will stand competitors after CES.
Mylo will gain probably a huge chunk of this new market, but because Sony knows how to publicize its products.

The mylo has one HUGE thorn in its paw: memory sticks. They're only an advantage if you use other sony embedded devices.
The one advantage most MIDs have over the NIT family: x86 based (that's part of the MID definition, IIRC, but I also think I remember several of the CES MIDs saying they had ARM processors). That isn't going to make me drop everything and buy one, but it IS an advantage.

one interesting rumor is that the snapdragon and the menlow are evenly matched on computing power...

Cost is different, though. I don't see buying a MID that'll cost me more than $600 (pref. $500). So, if an x86 based MID can't give me everything I get from an N810 (maybe minus the GPS), even when it has a WWAN radio built in, and keep the price under that ceiling, then I probably wont buy it.
