New REDFLY models from Celio Corp! The C7 and C8N
Celio Corporation silently announced yesterday a few new exciting announcements around their Redfly smartphone terminal devices. Adding 2 new models to the line up and new accessories in time for Christmas. :-) Mainly a handy car charger and an extra power supply.
The C8N model has a larger screen and battery and a new media port, so you could view video or pictures from another device. The 8" screen size is the same as the older Redfly model (C8). The new C7 model has a smaller 7" screen, and smaller battery, making it even more light weight than the older C8 model.
The video on the new C8N is not driven from a smartphone but any other device that provides composite video output. The audio must be driven from the other device. So think of it as a larger display while on the go. So the smartphone doesn't have to connected to the Redfly to view the video. But you can view the video at the same time as working on your smartphone in a minimized overlay window! Also the new media port can also be used as a 3rd USB port with the media cable adaptor.
C7 available Nov 24, 2008 for USD $229.00 - Preorder here!
C8N available Dec 1, 2008 for USD $299.00 - Preorder here!
