Mini USB Monitors Give Pleasure with Every Tiny Inch
Wired: Gadget Lab —
... on my tiny desk, cluttered as it is with three hard drives, an iPod dock, Wacom tablet, 20" monitor and sundry other detritus, in addition to my MacBook.
One more thing: See that monitor in the middle of the picture up there? That's yet another mini-USB monitor, this time from D-Link. Same size, same resolution and uncannily similar. From the same factory, perhaps? And finally, yes, the headline was ripped directly from a piece of spam I received today.

Invasion of the Mini USB monitors
Boing Boing Gadgets —
... to the shelves. All the new breed of mini-monitors are USB, too, meaning that they don't waste a DVI port.
I've often wanted a small auxiliary monitor on which to slap IM windows, twitter deck apps, scratch pads and the like, but finding a reasonable balance between size, price and quality was always a pain. So it's natural that as soon as I thought "Bah, I'll just get a second display," last year, than the exact thing I wanted originally should appear, grinning.

Mimo's tiny USB monitors get proper US release

... We definitely dig Mimo's little auxiliary displays, but they suffer from two main problems: very limited availability in the States and a rather high price, conspiring to make them something less than an impulse buy. Sadly that latter constraint is still in ...
MIMO little displays- add extra (touch)screen to your netbook
jkOnTheRun —
... The folks at MIMO are all excited about their two new USB-powered monitors that can add extra functionality to any system.

New Mimo USB Displays Perfect for Ops Center Dreams

... for Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X are promised as of press time.
Personally, Mimo’s new monitors look like specialty devices designed for professionals with some money to burn; adding a touchscreen panel (or two, three, four…) to your desktop setup may be cool, but just how practical is it for everyone? As a frustrated graphic designer, I’d be interested to see just how well the 710 and 740 can reproduce colors on their respective 800 x 480 screens.

MIMO Monitors available in US
Coolest Gadgets —
... MIMO monitors might have been out elsewhere in the world for some time already, but they’re finally arriving on US shores. These 7″ displays are able to function as instant secondary or tertiary displays, connected via USB 2.0 to provide you with additional viewing real estate. I do think that getting a larger monitor in the first place would be a better solution since I don’t like to deal with bezels found on a multi-display setup. It is a novelty to have on your desktop though, and practical applications include dragging your instant messaging ...
Mimo's 710-S 'Mobile Slider' USB monitor gets low... real low

Mimo 710-S Monitor Flips Shut to Go Portable [Monitors]

... flare to the mix. The Mimo 710-S is the "Mobile Slider" edition of their existing line, a 7-inch, 800x480 USB monitor that opens like a clamshell and rotates 90 degrees depending on your viewing preference. The catch? It costs $20 more than the existing Mimo 710 to attain this new portable formfactor. So if you're not planning to travel with it, you can probably save a few bucks on an older model. Look for the 710-S when it's released later this month for $150. [Mimo via Everything USB via Engadget]

Mimo 720-s – portable auxiliary USB monitor and touchscreen

... is the touch screen version of the freshly minted Mimo 710-S USB auxiliary screen. It’s a 7″ 800 x 480 USB monitor but it’s been redesigned to fold flat against its base to protect the screen and to give you multimonitor mwa-ha-ha wherever you deploy. Image The price of portability is a decrease in versatility as the screen can still be rotated but you lose the height adjustment. No word on price as yet but the non touchscreen version is US$149.99 and available now for shipping around the end of August. Image Yes, the rumors are true…the 720-S Mobile ...
Nanovision MIMO 720-S touchscreen display review
SlashGear —
... . The DisplayLink driver is still a work-in-progress, at least according to the accompanying documentation, but we had no issues with it. The primary hiccup is the touchscreen driver, seemingly a piece of proprietary software for OS X that Nanovision aren’t at liberty to distribute. Instead, you must buy it separately from www.mimomonitors.com where it’s priced at $30. We used a test version – which was limited to 100 clicks before demanding recalibration – and had no real problems, but it’s galling to face a $30 ...
