Get The 411 On The Next Big Mobile Device
I love my tech toys, but it's a damn hard thing to keep on when you find yourself trapped under a pile of DVD'z every week (I ain't complaining) but from time to time I find something that strikes my fancy that I think would also grab someone else's attention as well.
Today that little gizmo is CLARION'S Mobile Internet Device (MiND) and looking at the specs and other info this little contraption looks like a snazzy alternative for people not fond of the iPhone.
Enough babbling from me.
