Much new advancement is being made in the world of mobility and entertainment - Clarions MiND MID is one of the most recent additions in this new world. This new device brings a completely new meaning to mobile navigation devices with features that allow for constant connection. Connecting with your car, and utilizing GPS functionality, is now a breeze.
Clarion specializes in car audio and navigation systems. Because of their expertise, they were able to add some additional bonuses, to the MiND, that many other GPS systems do not have. One of these bonuses is the way the navigational unit interacts with your car via its docking station.
Any functional piece of technology must have a good engine. The MiND has Intel's Atom CPU, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0, together with a GPS receiver, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of flash-based storage.
The MiND would not be a proper navigational unit with its 4.8-inch touch screen display, with a resolution of 800 x 480. This screen allows for visible navigation of roads, even while you're driving. Additionally, viewing videos and web pages are crisp as well.
Both the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies are tightly integrated into the MiND. This technology gives you the ability to connect to the internet from home, the office, or other hot spot locations. Bluetooth can be used - in conjunction with cell phones - for internet connection. The current model of the MiND does not have "always-on" connection; however, later models will include the integration of either 3G or WiMAX.
Linux operating systems are not the most user-friendly; however, they do provide for a stable, flexible foundation. Clarion used this Linux, as an operating system, for this reason. It provides consumers with good performance along with a solid backend. Many applications are available, out-of-the-box. Applications like Google Maps, Google Earth, YouTube viewer, email clients, and document and media viewers. These applications make your experience real.
Battery life, on many mobile devices, has increased dramatically over the years. However, Clarion did not put much effort into MiNDs' battery. The average life span, on its battery, is anywhere from 90 minutes up to 2 hours. MiNDs' battery life is based on what applications are running and how the settings have been set. Regardless, in comparison with other battery life spans, this definitely needs to be improved.
As with any other GPS system, there are many points-of-interests automatically available to you. Consumers can find additional POIs online and download them to their devices. This unit integrates closely with your car, like no other system has done. Docking the MiND, with the proper accessories, provides you with turn-by-turn directions, in addition to a realistic experience that no other mobile navigational device can provide.
Clarions MiND is selling for around $649.99. This price is for the models that offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only. There has not yet been a price announced for the models that will have 3G or WiMAX technologies.
Clarion is looking to provide consumers with an "always-on" experience. While they have not yet reached this goal, they are close. They have managed to provide consumers with loads of applications in a unique device - a device that intimately integrates with your vehicle, giving you a GPS experience like never before.
