Mio MID (mobile internet device)
Jan 14, 2009 CES 2009, gps navigation, mio, umpc

Mio was displaying a mobile internet device (MID) at CES 2009. Being used to seeing GPS navigation systems from Mio we were quite surprised.

What’s really interesting about Mio MID is that it is running Windows Mobile, not a “full” OS. It has a nice 7″ screen, weighs 600 grams, and can last up to 8 hours on a single charge.
We would be a little disappointed if Mio failed to put a GPS receiver in there, but they didn’t let us down. Mio MID does have an integrated GPS receiver – which they say make this the ideal travel companion. However we do not know if they’re going to install their new Spirit navigation software in there as well.
Mio MID also includes WiFi connectivity. The final specs as well as launch schedule are expected to be revealed in second quarter of this year.
