“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - Walt Disney

Mio Buzz, the official Mio blog, was launched in December 2008 and has since posted more than 200 articles about Mio products, travel experiences, design concepts and events featuring fabulous prizes. In addition, you our readers have honored us with more than 200,000 page views. Over these 27 months, we also established a Mio presence on social networks like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.

During this time, we have received a lot of your comments, questions, critiques, opinions and suggestions.  Thanks to your feedback, we are sporting a new look.  The first version of MioBuzz sought to present a more seamless and fashionable look that echoed our newly launched Moov Spirit series. However, some of you pointed out that the site was at times difficult to read due to the dark background and grayish font color.

We launched a new design project last November to offer our readers a more legible and user-friendly interface. We chose from five design drafts and settled on the one you see before you. The design utilizes Mio’s orange and white background to give visitors a bright, happy feeling when they land here. All the service and promotional modules are organized on the right side of the page for easy navigation.

Just like the immortal Walt Disney said, we have to be open to new experiences in life. New roads open up all the time, and discovering new places is every explorer’s dream. At Mio, our duty is to guide you there and say: “You’ve reached your destination.”  So as we debut the new design, we welcome your comments.  What do you think? As always, we value your opinion. 

Last but not least, we add the Facebook “Like” button in the new version. You can show your support with a simple click!

According to the Chinese calendar, and the deciduous trees, it is the middle of autumn and at around this time of year for the last 3,000 years, the Chinese have been celebrating the day in which the moon is at its fullest. This year it’s on 22 September.

As with most holidays around the world, the real reasons for having a day off have become lost in the mists of time and stories are created to justify what is essentially a good excuse to stay in bed.

Today, it’s a good incentive to eat, meet friends, shop and play computer games. So prepare to ruminate on mooncakes, light your paper lanterns, max out the plastic and sit on the sofa to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival around Asia. Oh and if you can put the rind of a pomelo on your head, so much the better.

So, from all at Mio we’d like to wish all of our Mio fans a Happy Mid-Autumn festival.
