We've no idea if this is Intel's unwanted future for the seemingly unwanted Mobile Internet Device, but only a few months after
seeing Clarion's
frequently discounted MiND popping up in Nissan's Cube, the very same MID has now found a seat within Mitsubishi's famously adorable
i MiEV. Here at CEATEC, the Intel-branded whip was proudly shown with a MiND-based infotainment system, and while we can't promise that any of these zero-emission vehicles will ever hit dealerships with an Intel Inside sticker just beneath the VIN number, we
can say that it wouldn't surprise us in the least. The MID seems to be a solid fit for a GPS / multimedia system within a cute, commuter-centric car such as this, and being that it's removable, the fun doesn't have to stop when the drive does. Has the MID finally found its calling, or is the search to be loved still on?

I like the capabilities of the system in the car, but I'm not sure why I would want to remove it. It looks too clunky to use for portable media playing or GPSing.
Looks light one of those plastic molds found on one of those compromised ATM machines.. ;) Still would mind having one never-the-less.
Anything that takes people's vision away from the road for more than a couple of seconds is a hugely bad idea. Get this crap out of cars!!!
Haha, VIN number.
Repetitively redundant.
