Clearview infinity miPC

Ultra mobile is the way it’s going. Following on from our coverage of the Gigabyte UMPC U60, the latest offering in this highly competitive new sector is the infinity miPC.

Quite frankly, the specifications of the miPC put the laptops of a few years ago to shame. Microsoft office 2008, web mail MSN Voip, hand recognition and a personal information management system mean it doesn’t just play games. Connection options include: WiFi 802.11, Bluetooth V2.0, USB and TV out. Capable of playing music and video, it has a built-in FM tuner, supports DivX and XviD, and functions as a GPS system when its docked. A 4.3-inch touch screen, and SD slot with a 30GB hard drive and 128MB of RAM complete the picture.

The only think missing is a keyboard, but who need that anyway? In fact the only thing really missing is phone capabilities. Now there’s a thought – if they added a handset, we could do away with all those annoying phones.

I like the whole idea of a gadget this size offering this many features and the GPS includes maps of Canada and the US, so it’s clearly aimed at the North American market. No price as yet, but it’s only small so it can’t be worth more than a couple hundred bucks, I mean it doesn’t even have a keyboard or phone handset. Manufacturer’s details are here.
