The ClarionMiND (moblie Internet Navigation Device) Offers Enhanced Wireless Navigation And Entertainment Features
Clarion, a global leader of mobile electronics, announces feature enhancements to the ClarionMiND. The ClarionMiND, which launched in November 2008 is an industry-leading portable device offering premium connected-navigation features, full Internet browsing and social networking.
The ClarionMiND already features the wireless internet-enabled Send POI from Google Maps feature, but will also soon add Local Search from Google Maps, Traffic Alert supported by Traffic.com as well as Music Streaming and Download Service supported by MP3tunes.
Clarion MiND
ClarionMiND is a robust, high-performance portable navigation and computing device powered by the Intel® Atom™ processor. Always accessible Internet connectivity via Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth®, when paired with a mobile phone, offers limitless possibilities while in the home, office or on the go. In addition to the Intel® Atom™ processor, the ClarionMiND’s large, wide, high-resolution screen capabilities make applications such as a full web browser, MySpace, You Tube and Map Viewer simple and pleasant to use. One of the best features of the ClarionMiND is that it can be continuously upgraded to expand its capabilities via the Clarion portal site, http://my.clarion.com/. This allows users to always have the latest software, news and information.
The new Send POI from Google Maps is an extremely convenient feature. It enables anyone with a web browser to send destinations to the ClarionMiND, completely wirelessly. Using any PC Web Browser or the ClarionMiND device, a desired location is selected within Google Maps and, using the send link, the user selects the desired destination device. The selected search result is instantly sent and then received once the ClarionMiND unit syncs to the portal site. Best of all, the navigation application will automatically keep a log of downloaded POIs and direct you to the location.
Several other innovative and exciting features will soon be available to ClarionMiND users. The powerful new Local Search from Google Maps feature ensures POI search results will always be fresh and new. Using either the Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® tethering feature, the ClarionMiND device wirelessly connects via the Internet to download search results from the Google database. This dynamic content offers virtually limitless and continually- updated information thus overcoming the natural limitations of non-connected navigation devices.
The ClarionMiND already features the wireless internet-enabled Send POI from Google Maps feature, but will also soon add Local Search from Google Maps, Traffic Alert supported by Traffic.com as well as Music Streaming and Download Service supported by MP3tunes.
In an industry first, the Google search results will be plotted directly on the map of the ClarionMiND device. This new unique feature was developed in cooperation with Google.
On the multimedia front, the Music Streaming and Download Service supported by MP3Tunes offers personalized off-board music storage via a personal, secure server-based locker holding each user’s unique music content accessible by their own ClarionMiND. Music Locker ClarionMiND Edition is a web-based music management player, with online storage for your music collection. Music Locker ClarionMiND Edition has functions especially suited for the screen size of ClarionMiND, with helpful music links to YouTube, Amazon.com and Wikipedia. Music Sync is a download manager with playlist sync functions, exclusively developed for the ClarionMiND. With Music Locker ClarionMiND Edition and Music Sync, you can listen to your favorite music on the server anytime and anywhere.
Soon new features providing traffic updates will be available, with Traffic Alert widget and TrafficOne™ provided by Traffic.com. Traffic Alert widget offers real-time traffic information for your daily route in synchronization with TrafficOne™ for registered ClarionMiND users via MyClarion.com. This is just one more way ClarionMiND can help navigate the way using wireless data streaming.
The ClarionMiND is now available, with several new and exciting features launching soon.
