Atom 230 with 4W TDP and 945GC chipset with 22W TDP is a Nettop combo. Netbooks use far more efficient Atom N270 with 2.5W TDP and 945GMS with 4-5W TDP. The "power hungry chipset" mentality probably came from this review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/Intel-Atom-Efficient,1981-7.html As for “power hungry chipset”, you are probably referring to the 945GC chipset combo.

Smartphone, can surf internet and do various more sophisticated things than regular phone .MIP=mobile internet phone, can make voice calls, has desktop level internet experience, includes everything smartphone can do but can do more. MID=mobile internet device, lacks voice calls but otherwise same functions. Mobile = 5" or smaller screen. Anyone got more terms we can use ;)?

Multiple presentations they said CPU-level reduction of 10x. One presentation I saw put platform level reduction of 30x over Menlow.

When it fits in your bag? When it fits in your pocket? I would imagine it is different for everyone. Maybe anything that is 'hand-held' (practically usable while in the hands) is mobile? Who knows... I've always considered the iPod Touch and iPhone to be MIDs. I feel like there is a likely chance that companies will jump on the MID name bandwagon as they become more popular to try to present their device as more of a consumer oriented device, and give rid of any ugly corporate/business connotations that the name smartphone seems to have.
