mimo710s

If you want the feel of a touchscreen monitor for your MacBook but don’t want to wait until Apple unveils its rumored tablet, Mimo Monitors may have an alternative: a 7-inch display with resistive touchscreen for USB 2.0 Intel Macs.

The Mimo 720-S has all of the features of the Mimo 710-S plus a touchscreen. The screen provides 800×400 resolution and is on a 90-degree pivot. The device weighs less than 1 pound.

The monitor also offers an integrated stand and cover. The Mimo 720-S is $229.99 and requires USB 2.0. Mac users must download Mac OS X drivers.

I have the Mimo 740 with the touchscreen. It works great in 10.5 (no 10.6 drivers yet). It gets 800*480 resolution and can work vertically or horizontally. Only thing is that because the screen is so small it’s hard to use as a touchscreen unless you have BIG buttons. I would suggest people get the non touchscreen b/c of that. Unless of course Mimo fixed that issue in the new 720-S.

I have the 720s and the touchscreen works fine for me. You just need to do a 10 point calibration. Then it works great.
