If the mid is shooting for the $600 range,
I suspect it will come down. And anyway if I can get one cheap with a data plan, that would be OK too. Still all the being said and done, I'd still be tempted at $600.
You can get a N810 for $200 fairly easy
I can't. I've looked but I've never seen one I could get for much less than $350. But then again I don't live in the US. At $200 I'd certainly buy one.

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.
