Intel's MID commercial tells us what we already knew

Okay, so there's a fair amount of folks out there still wondering what exactly a MID (Mobile Internet Device) can do for them, and while some may scrutinize the facts and still come away in a haze, Intel has unleashed a new 84 second spot hyping the platform's ability to keep you connected in nearly any locale. The plug trumpets the "great battery life" you're just guaranteed to get as well as the ability to connect via WiFi or WiMAX. Beyond accessing the web, you'll also find promotions for multimedia playback and "catching up on your work" -- the latter of which we're thoroughly skeptical about. Still, you're likely to get a hearty chuckle out of it if nothing else, so click on past the break to get schooled.

For the price of a MID I can buy a Nokia N95 wich can do all that and make phone calls and has GPS navigation. It also has a much longer battery life and is not limited to Wifi/wimax hotspots.

I nearly literally LOL'd when they said it'd fit in your pocket and the actor had to wriggle it to squeeze it in! I don't think the Nokia tablet has anything to fear just yet!
