Intel's Linux-powered mobile Internet device

An anonymous reader writes: Intel is set to launch an ultra-mobile PC dubbed Mobile Internet Device or MID which will run on Linux. The PDA-sized devices will target "consumers and prosumers" instead of mobile professionals.From the story: MID tablets will run a simplified 'finger-friendly' user interface optimised for the small screens, based on the Gnome desktop but with an Intel-developed 'master user interface' layer to serve as an equivalent to the desktop.
