Full FeedMio considering jumping into MID/Netbook market?
Under glass at CES, Mio showed off a concept device that is reportedly, “pretty cool.” Mio ususually shows off some concepts that they are working on. For example, last year Mio showed a cell phone that is still on the back burner but being considered for the European market.
Mio describes this device as a Mobile Internet Device and is aimed at basically what is the netbook crowd. Wi-Fi, GPS and a big old battery (up to 8 hours). It looks pretty slick but you’ve got to wonder about the utility and speed of Windows Mobile running on it vs some of the linux distros out there. I don’t even have a guess (and neither did Mio) on price.
Using Windows Mobile allows Mio to tout a quick boot up time. The latest, Windows Mobile 6.1 was on this box. The Mio rep said a couple of them have this for testing/play and their response was pretty good. No word if that will influence its path to market.
