If the mid is shooting for the $600 range, i dont see it going to far. Before I pay ~$600 for a MID, it would make more sense to go with a loaded netbook. You can get a N810 for $200 fairly easy, and a N800 for 100-150. The battery life on the N810 is about 6-7hrs under heavy used, and it can literally go a week under light usage.
