At the Intel Developer Forum (IDF 2009) in Bejing, China, this week, Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel Ultra Mobility Group, demonstrated the Intel next-generation Atom-based Mobile Internete Devic (aka MID) platform, codename Moorestown.

After celebrating the first year of life of the Atom processor, a slide crowded with MIDs made an appearance.

The slide contains many devices, some available now and others which are currently under development: e.g. you can easily recognize the Fujitsu, the Aigo and the EKing rebranded WiBrain, as well as some MIDs shown at CES.

Four unknown devices are in the bottom row, and during the presentation the BYD Mars was also presented: this last device should provide a phone and a Windows XP based system, packed in a clamshell form factor.

I don’t know you, but as long as battery life can provide:

• 2 hours calling time
• some email fetching during the work day (without being always connected)
• from 2 to 3 hours of PC side usage with WWAN or Wi-Fi on

I definitly would like (and buy!) one, even at the price of weight.

Am I asking for too much, what do you think?
