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 place, but we're happy to say you're now just a few clicks away from buying your own if you're so inclined. Mimo has launched a US portal selling two seven-inch models, starting with the vanilla 710 at $130, offering a 800 x 480 screen with a 400:1 contrast ratio and brightness rated at 350 nits. On the higher end is the $200 740, adding touch capability and a webcam. In other words: same prices, easier to find. You decide if they're worth it for you.

Just for those who want to know my experience with customer service @ The Gadgeteers.

I purchased the UM-740 a week ago, totally overlooking the late ship date on it since it's on backorder. I e-mailed them this morning asking to change the order to the UM-710 to get it sooner and within minutes, Jeremy S. e-mailed me back and took care of the situation, even had it shipped out the same day for delivery tomorrow (Saturday) in the quickest reaction time of any retailer I dealt with.

Hats off to you Jeremy!
