A few days ago I commented about the Celio Redfly adding support for BlackBerrys. I came across that bit of information first while researching to purchase a Celio RedFly myself and then while I’ve been …

RedflyWithPhone_small If you haven’t heard about the Celio Redfly, it is basically a small, lightweight laptop that is an extension of your device (AT&T Tilt/HTC TyTN II), the Redfly has no operating system on it. I think that this is a great concept as Mobile Devices are very powerful but utilizing that power can be tedious through a small screen. The Redfly for example will allow you to view whole webpages instead of having to repeatedly zoom in and out. Other obvious advantages is having a nice keyboard and mouse built right in.

Steve “fyiguy” Hughes at BostonPocketPC.com does a great job reviewing the Celio Redfly and is good read. So if you think you may be interested in the Celio Redfly head on over to BostonPocketPC.com and check out Steve’s review.

The Redfly will be priced at about $500.00 and should be available soon.

  • Yes I agree, the price is a bit high. Celio is looking to target niche markets like sales force and mobile enterprise workers and people in and out of the office, since more and more people are leaving their laptops at home or the office for business trips and are mainly using their phone. Hopefully if the REDFLY does gain traction the pricepoint will drop and we may even see other features added- like a touch screen.

    I too quickly dismissed it as way to pricy and was a bit skeptical until I used it and found that I could actually deal with it since most of my applications that I use are right on my Windows Mobile device. With large bluetooth keyboards from Think Outside no longer being sold this is one of the only ways you can get a larger keyboard for your device short of connecting it to a laptop, which kind of defeats the purpose. If the price range was in the $199-299 range I think it would appeal to more consumers. Right now it is mainly for the Enterprise, who don't want another device like a laptop to manage.

    If you have any questions on it I would be more than willing to answer them.

    It looks great, except for the price. In order for this to sell, it will have to be priced less than a laptop computer. As it is, for $100 less I could get an Eee PC and remote control software.
  • I was really blown away by the price tag. I knew it would be a great product. Think of some kind of car mount for this with your GPS! Awesome!

    There is no way I could personally swing an Advantage or a Shift, but oh how I drool at the thought!

    I'll wait for the Redfly to hit ebay used. Someone will get it and not like the Tilt or whatever and try to dump it for cheap.

    Intially i dismissed this out-of-hand as something too overpriced to consider AND i'm lusting after the Advantage. But maybe this is a better more practical alternative companion to my TILT........?
