February 22, 2012 – 8:25 am | No Comment

Well, you have to hand it to the strategy team over at Zipcar . Arguably the largest on-demand car-sharing network, Zipcar went public last year and not long after saw its market cap cross $1 billion . It’s since fallen back, and with collaborative consumption and the market for car-sharing heating up, the big players have to make moves. Zipcar has since forged a partnership with Ford, making it the largest provider of cars for Zipcar’s University program , and, in December, the company took a controlling stake in Spain’s largest car-sharing network, Avancar . Today finds Zipcar making another strategic move to get its mitts in fellow car-sharing companies, again with a focus on universities, whose students are among the most eager adopters of car-sharing models.

It has been far, far too long since you’ve tossed out another product to appease our need for more pixels in every situation, and frankly, we couldn’t be happier to see that you’re back. Today, the aforesaid company is tossing out a variant of the 710-S that emerged last August, but this one’s tailor made to work on VESA mounts. The company claims that the 720-F was born from requests to have a 7-inch touchscreen that could be mounted on VESA brackets, enabling easy installs in cars, server rooms, dashboards, etc. You’ll still get an 800 x 480 resolution, 400:1 contrast ratio and a USB-driven design, though you’ll be asked to shed $199 from your savings account in order to bring one home. Betcha can’t buy just one.

Mimomonitors.com Introduces the Mimo 720-F ‘Flex Screen’ Touchscreen Monitor Specially Designed for Mounting Applications

USB-Driven 7″ Touchscreen Monitor Allows for Easy Mounting in a Variety of Installation Options

PRINCETON, N.J., May 25 /PRNewswire/ — Mimomonitors.com, the leading online retailer of USB-driven mini-monitors, is pleased to announce the availability of its newest product, the Mimo 720-F “Flex Screen” Touchscreen Monitor. The development of the 720-F was fueled specifically by Mimo consumer demand, as so many customers requested an easily-mountable touchscreen monitor.

Based on the popular Mimo Mobile Slider series, the 720-F comes with a VESA 75 Standard-compatible back bracket (and four screws), allowing the user to mount on wall brackets, adjustable arm brackets, plus auto seats and dashboards. The possibilities for home, desktop, auto, retail and commercial uses are endless!

Mimomonitors.com continues to be the pioneer in bringing USB-driven displays to market, and they have grown in popularity since they allow users to de-clutter their crowded, primary desktop monitor and offload applications such as web browsers, Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and Word, plus social networking platforms like Tweetdeck, media players, chat windows, and more. Multiple vertical applications in health care, hospitality, and lottery systems have also been developed. All Mimo and iMo monitors require just a single USB 2.0 connection for both connectivity and power – meaning no extra VGA cables or video cards.

NOW AVAILABLE:

Mimo 720-F “Flex Screen” Touchscreen Monitor – Priced at $199.00

Featuring a VESA 75 standard compatible back bracket, a 7″ LCD touchscreen that boasts 800×480 resolution, 350 cd/m2 brightness, and 400:1 contrast, the Mimo 720-F can be mounted in a variety of different possible placements.
