Clarion MiND

Clarion's affordable mobile Internet device puts GPS, multimedia, and the Web in the palm of your hand, but we wish it offered longer battery life.

ClarionMiND NR1UB

The ClarionMind will wow you with its flashy graphics and long list of features, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a Web browser with Flash support, multimedia playback options, GPS navigation, and baked-in YouTube and MySpace access. However,...

The ClarionMind offers an extensive feature set that makes it as much an ultraportable PC as it is a portable navigation device

Stability is poor when multitasking. No built-in Web connection, so users are stuck using a Bluetooth connection or finding Wi-Fi where they can. Navigation and traffic updates are separate applications

The lack of a dedicated data connection and poor integration between its applications keeps the ClarionMind from fulfilling the potential that its hardware possesses.

Clarion Mind

Was shopping for a GPS and found this for the same price after a price drop. The GPS aspect works o.k. Not as well as others I have used. The touchscreen looks great and works well, especially with the included stylus. Found the performance to be kinda...

Potentially really good but too many flaws

Bought and returned this item when it was priced new around $200. It worked fine as a GPS and surfing the web, but it did not play music and video files reliably. Updated firmware/OS but could not get it to play all formats correctly (flash, avi, and...

Hackable, mostly workable.

I wanted this quite badly around the 2009 Holiday season. Prices had dropped to about half of what they are now, and I'd learned that the unit had a Z-series Atom processor (far less powerful than the N-series found in netbooks, but still x86...
