今天路过 Hitachi 展场的时候，在边边看到了一个怪怪的东西，好像...是 MID！
不过这严格来说，应该不能算是 Hitachi 自家的产品，而是由子公司 Clarion 所研发，这家过去最出名的其实是车用设备，不过在被 Hitachi 买下后，似乎也开始为他们来设计些更有趣的产品。这款 MID MiND，采用分辨率在 WVGA（800 X 480）的 4.8 寸 LCD 触摸屏幕，可透过 WiFi 上网，至于 3G 甚至是 WiMax 的支持，据说将来会有。
支持蓝牙、GPS 导航，另有一枚像素未明的相机；功能方面，除了上网、GPS 定位之外，还可以收发电子邮件，作为 PMP（详细支持格式不知，但据说可播放 Flash 影片）、照片浏览使用等诸多功能，DM 上面还说拿来当手持电话（家用）用。
不过当场展示的还是原型产品，所以有蛮多功能都还不能用，希望将来推出的时候，可以跟比现在看到的更顺畅啰！（据说是年底左右会推出，不过应该是先在欧美市场上市...）
[Hands on with Hitachi/Clarion MID MiND]
Clarion used to be a giant in making in-car AV equipment. Although they are now owned by Hitachi, that doesn't stop their creative juices from flowing. This MID called MiND is their latest creation. MiND features a 4.8" LCD touch screen with WVGA (800X480), supports GPS and BT, and it even has a camera (pixel unknown) built-in. We were told that 3G and WiMAX might be added later.
MiND also does everything that an ordinary PMP can do (may support Flash playback). On top of that, it can also be used as a household phone. However, the prototype at Computex only has limited functions. It might appear on the North American or European market near the end of this eyar.
