If you’re looking for a tiny, extra monitor, Nanovision makes some utilitarian Mimo-branded gear. But now their latest 710-S monitor adds a bit of flare to the mix. More »
If you have been looking to buy theMimo pivoting 7-inch USB-based display from a familiar online shop, ThinkGeek is now selling them for $US130. Still a bit expensive, but if you don’t have any video port available, these cool USB monitors are the ticket. Mimo’s 800 x 480-pixel satellite monitor is also available at The Gadgeteers.

The 7-inch Mimo display we reviewed was nice, but it was slightly chunky for a 7-inch display. Hence, the Mimo Slim.
Bah, forget about matte-black iPhone 3.0 backs, or MacBooks in an iPhone or Air+Touch iPhone hybrids. What in the name of all that is black, ticklish, and chrome-rimmed is this thing?
The Gadget: The previously Korea-only 7-inch plug-and-play Mimo display, which hooks up via any USB 2.0 port. The resolution is a not-too-shabby 800×480, and higher versions, like this UM-750 also has a webcam and touchscreen.
A Gizmodo reader saw the Mimo 7-inch USB rotatable displays and he thought they were so cool that he is importing 500 units to sell them in the US. I’m not surprised, because they are extremely nice and useful indeed: You only have to connect them to a USB port and they work as satellite 800 x 480 screens for anything you want to put in them, from small apps like instant messaging to widgets like Photoshop tools.
My parents live in a pretty big house—well, at least it seems big if you’ve spent the last five years living in various closets in New York. One of the most annoying things about occasionally blogging from there is that sometimes, depending on where you are in the big house, the wireless connection will crap out inexplicably. Luckily for them, a California startup called Quantenna Communications is trying to solve that problem with chipsets that boost Wi-Fi signals and evens out wireless coverage.
D-Link’s all white DIR-660 Limited Edition Wireless N router looks great on the outside, and performs decently on the…outside. There’s MIMO, which is fantastic, along with an OLED display on the top for status updates, but an old Netgear G router i4u tested with had better range than the 660 even in N mode. Speeds were great, but you give up range for throughput. Only good if you’ve got a tiny apartment, or you really love OLED displays you can only read from a few feet away. [i4u] More »
NTT DoCoMo is about to make the iPhone’s poky EDGE network connectivity look like a horse and buggy, experimenting with a Super 3G wireless network system that could blast data through the air at speeds of 300Mbps. Somebody do the math, but that sounds like it’s about a zillion times faster than the poky 80kbps (or fanboy-tastically optimistic 200kbps real-world maximum) of the shit-slow EDGE network. How in the world are these NTT eggheads doing this?
For one thing, the Japanese experimenters are using four multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas at the same time on both the transmission and receiving side. But this is not something people are using to download HD videos to their cellphones today. The company says its development process will probably be complete by 2009. And from the looks of that diagram above, you’ll need some serious paraphernalia on the sending and receiving side to use this tech, deskside units that don’t exactly look like mobile phones.

This porcupine-looking box is call Slurpr, and it’s bristling with electronic gear inside, namely six Wi-Fi interfaces bundled together to make one blasting fast super-broadband connection with nine Ethernet ports for all to enjoy.
You may have noticed multiple Wi-Fi networks showing up when you boot up your laptop, right? Why not use all of them at the same time with the Slurpr? Here’s how it’s done.
