Lenovo Ideapad U8 MID

A mobile Internet device (MID) is a multimedia capable mobile device providing wireless Internet access.[1][2][3] They are designed to provide entertainment, information and location-based services for personal or business use. They allow 2-way communication and real-time sharing. They have been described as filling a niche between smartphones and tablet computers.[4]

As all the features of MID started becoming available on smartphones and tablets, the term is now mostly used to refer to both low-end as well as high-end tablets.[5]
