A better applications platform. To that end we're focused on creating an application platform and robust, intuitive applications that put you in the driver's seat for your Internet experience. Right now, MID offers applications that help you organize, manage, share and securely store you information, pictures, bookmarks or files. We built these applications as examples of how people can use MID and the Internet as beneficial easy-to-use tools.

The MID platform is the real advantage. We built our platform from the ground up to serve as environment for developers - any developer - to create innovative applications for an ever-improved experience. Our platform is based on the idea that technology is an evolving thing. Constantly growing, constantly changing our platform is flexible and scalable so that it can grow with and adapt to the people who use it.

A better way. When we set out to change the way software is created, developed and distributed we started not at the beginning but at the end.

"MID is reverse engineered from people's lives."

We asked people what they wanted, what they needed. What we discovered is that existing PC based technology doesn't fit seamlessly into their lives. It dictates their behavior. It ties tham to a computer. It fundamentally doesn't work the way they want it to.

MID is reverse engineered from people's lives. We started with you and then developed a platform that could support the things you want and need. We're a people company that develops technology for a different kind of Internet.

The IAN connection. MID is a division of IAN (www.ian.net) a leading company in the pervasive computing and Internet appliance space. IAN acquired MID in April 2000 and uses the MID platform and application suite to add robustness and functionality to IAN solutions. Together MID and IAN are changing the way people interact with technology and the Internet.
