Intel plans to proclaim Wednesday that the next big thing in consumer gadgets will be the “Internet in your pocket.”

At a developer event in China, the company will display a range of Mobile Internet Devices, or MIDs–wireless Internet devices that Intel believes will fill a gap between smartphones and laptops, ranging from advanced ultracompact laptops to small, tablet-size devices for browsing the Web, navigation and Internet chat.

They will be highly compatible with the company’s laptop and desktop processors for which most Web software is written today.
