Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Extend your office everywhere you go and access corporate databases, your PC, and the Internet, all with Clio. The powerful combination of innovative design and the Microsoft Windows CE operating system makes Clio the ideal PC companion for a variety of business and corporate users. Clio represents a completely new way of interacting and communicating with your PC, your network, and the Internet when you're out of the office and on the go. Because Clio includes the essentials of the most popular Microsoft desktop applications, you can work and stay productive virtually anywhere. And, thanks to Clio's flexible design and communications capabilities, you'll always want it with you to stay in touch and up to date.

Why a PC Companion? A desktop PC works just fine in our primary place of business, but many of us need a mobile solution when business takes us elsewhere. Notebook PCs are often more than we need to carry and impractical for certain situations. And, while palm-size devices are very convenient for PIM updates and short bursts of communications, they aren't quite enough to perform meaningful productivity activities.

Enter Clio. Its compact size with the patented rotating SwingTop design, built-in applications, light weight, and long battery life make Clio a flexible companion to your main computer when you don't need full computing power. And Clio's large display, nearly full-size keyboard, and built-in communications solutions are conducive to getting real work done--in real time, on your own terms.

Clio's true power is not measured in microprocessing speed or hard drive storage capacity, but rather in the freedom and flexibility it allows the user to work, communicate, and stay productive while away from the office.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clio is great, October 27, 2002

By A Customer

I own a Vadem Clio and I love it. With a built in modem and the Microsoft Pocket Office software it is the perfect companion to a traveler who doesn't want to lug around a laptop or can't afford one. Its very lightweight and the power cord is very small so it can easily fit inbetween items in your suitcase as well.

The only downside is that like other laptops, if something integrated into the device stops working (ie. the modem) it can get very costly. I did, however, find a way around this and learned that there is a PCMCIA port on the Clio where you can just plug in a standard laptop modem or any PCMCIA device!

1.0 out of 5 stars Get a REAL laptop or PDA!, May 19, 2004

By	Gary Godsoe (Carmel, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews

My company got about 2 dozen of these things about two years ago.....I am guessing that they thought they looked cool or something. As a member of the IT support staff, these things are a complete nightmare. The power supplies are touchy, the memory corrupts and needs to be flashed often, and the keys on the keyboard are not very durable. In addition, Windows CE is just a plan bad OS. Top it all off with little or no service if they do break. We found some company out of California who is charging an arm and a leg per machine that we might as well invest into a real laptop.

On the plus side, these do make really nice door stops.
