Clarion MiND price cut: still too expensive

, Mar 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

The Clarion MiND navigation-MID seemed like a great idea when we first saw it back in January 2008, but a lengthy time to market and a car crash of a review has seemingly turned off all but the most avid of Clarion collectors.  That's why, we'd wager, Amazon has had to lower the price of the MiND: you can now pick up the white and red versions of the MID for just $530.

ClarionMiND navigation MID reviewed: car crash

, Feb 23rd 2009 Discuss [0]

The ClarionMiND seems like it's been around for a long time now, though it was only CES 2008 when the company officially unveiled the touchscreen navigation MID.  It took all the way until November to be released, then we had to wait until last month to see it in action; now Gear Diary have reviewed the MiND.  Clarion promise the full internet, navigation and media experience from one single device; unfortunately it seems they fall well short.

ClarionMiND GPS MID gets unboxed, played with: Video Demo

, Jan 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

Clarion's navigation MID launched last November, but it's taken a while for hands-on experience with the GPS-enabled touchscreen device to emerge.  Clarion have also tweaked the name slightly, to ClarionMiND (with no space) over apparent "legal issues".  Steve Paine has been playing with the ClarionMiND for the MID Moves project, and despite some obvious drawbacks - a pitiful battery good for at most an hours standalone use, and the lack of 3G - Clarion have actually done what other MID manufacturers struggle to achieve.

Clarion MiND MID gets GPS focus

, Aug 21st 2008 Discuss [0]

Clarion's MiND MID, refreshed for Computex earlier this year, has had another polish and been rolled out at IDF 2008 this week.  The company now appears to be shifting the focus of the MiND a little, away from a pure MID and describing it more as a GPS device that also has internet browsing and media functionality.  While that could be dismissed as mere semantics, it might help give Clarion an edge selling the MiND to a public more familiar with touchscreen GPS devices than than they are with MID. Check out the video demo of the Clarion MiND after the cut Read The Full Story
