Celio Redfly C7 Gets More Refined

The Redfly C7 has forgone a larger display for something smaller with a lighter overall weight, while those who want something larger can always check out the C8N. This model comes with the following :-

• 8.3″ display with 800 x 480 resolution
• REDFLY Media Port (connects to a variety of devices like PMPs and digital cameras)

Strangely enough, you’ll have to fork out another $20 for the REDFLY Media Cable, which IMHO, is nothing but a scam to scurry away more money from you. Despite the improvements in size, the same problems still remain – there is no real need for a (failed) Foleo-like device, and they are powered by being connected to a Windows Mobile device, which means it would place an additional battery drain. If you’re adamant on picking either one up, the C7 and C8N will retail for $229 and $299, respectively from December onwards. At that price point, it would be more prudent to get a netbook that offers more than dumb terminal functionality.
