Like a Little Buddy for your Compy

Well here’s an interesting concept… a 7-inch secondary monitor (or tertiary, or whatever) that hooks up via USB. Resolution is 800×480, which isn’t too bad for small windows that clutter up your main display. For me, things like Adium and Tweetdeck would most likely migrate over there. D-Link’s version, shown in the post and above, is a rebranding of the Nanovision Mimo UM-710, which has been featured on Engadget before, including a hands-on review. Pricing comes in at $129.99, which seems a bit steep personally. For that amount, I can pass it off as a pricey novelty. But at say $50 or $75? Then I would need to have a serious talk with my wallet :)

And by the way, this thing has two siblings, one which adds a webcam and a mic, and another which further adds a touchscreen(!) to the mix.
