In July, 2009, ABI Research conducted an online study among 1,000 adult US consumers concerning their interest in and expectations of a number of consumer technology products, including mobile Internet devices (MIDs) and Netbooks.

This Research Brief provides the results of the survey for the portion of questions related to MIDs. Questions were asked about interest, reasons for not being interested, if MIDs are replacing or in addition to other computing platforms, what applications and operating systems are used, and the cost of a device. The results are laid out in charts with additional summaries and analysis comparing the responses of those interested in MIDs and those who currently have the devices.
