Why would you want to hook up a tiny 7″ monitor to your computer? Twitter, FriendFeed, IM apps, and other apps that are most useful if you can have them up at all times to watch for notifications. Mimo Monitors go a step further by connecting via USB to keep all your video ports free. This means you can easily plug one in even if you already have two, three, or more monitors. The base model is priced attractively at $129.99 and offers a very basic featureset. Its only cool trick is the ability to change orientation of the monitor from landscape to portrait or vice versa. The $200 model has a touchscreen and integrated camera making it great for an app launcher or a Skype monitor. Very cool. Wired Gadget Lab had the scoop.
