MID stands for Mobile Internet Device and is designed to provide entertainment, information and location based services for the consumer market.
UMPC stands for Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer. However what makes it so exquisite is that it does not sit on your desk computer, nor does it sit on your lap, rather its is a hold in your hand computer. It is so small and lightweight that you can even hold it in your hands.
The main difference between both the devices is basically that MID devices are generally larger than a handheld device but smalller than the Ultra Mobile PC.

Compared to a Netbook? This is not so great due to the multiple features and flexibility of a netbook, which includes:
| 1) | Netbooks are cheaper. The majority of them run between $200-$400. And after you spend all that money on accessories and upgrade options for the iPad, you'd be able to buy three netbooks for the same amount of money. |
| 2) | With a netbook, you can multitask, allowing you to run several apps at the same time. |
| 3) | Though it hasn't been confirmed that there is absolutely no Flash support in the iPad, we at least know netbooks have full Flash support. |
| 4) | Netbooks have USB ports, about two to three on average. The iPad has none. |
| 5) | Higher Resolutions. There are several 10-inch netbooks that offer 1,366-by-768 resolutions, namely the HP Mini 5102, Dell Mini 10, and Sony VAIO VGN W-Series. The iPad tops out at 1,024 by 768. |
| 6) | Netbooks have options for bigger screens. You can get one with an 11-inch or 12-inch widescreen. |

4. Of the three handheld devices - Notebook, netbook & Ipad – which one would suit your needs and why?
I personally feel that notebooks would best suit my needs. This is because firstly it is a device which is easy to carry around, due to it coming in weights as light as 2.2 pounds! As well as this it is something which is capable of performing all possible functions that a computer can offer.
In addition to this for someone like me who needs to work on computers for long hours due to assignments, this is quite handy as it is portable and I can work with it wherever I like. Not only that but notebooks come in a number of varities which I can choose from and special features. Hence making a notebook most suitable to cater for my needs.
