PDA Buyer's Guide Talks to MiTAC About New Devices
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "ARTICLE" @ 04:00 PM
"The MiTAC Mio line of PDAs and MS Smartphones have been a hit in Asia, but we in the US could only look and drool. That is, until March 2004 when the Mio 168 Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003 hit the US market. Not only is it a strong Pocket PC, but it's the first one to have an integrated GPS. The Mio 168 was released in mid-March, and interest and demand have been very strong. This is only the beginning: in the future we'll be seeing another Mio device in the US."
PDA Buyer's Guide has just posted an excellent interview with David Lin, Senior Product Manager for MiTAC Mio Products.
Of special interest is this quote from Mr Lin, "The Mio 558 will also be introduced in the US soon. The 558 is the first Pocket PC with dual slots (CF and SD/ MMC), WiFi, Bluetooth, and a mini-USB port." According to the specs and a press release, this unit is also SDIO compatible, has a removable battery, and has built in VOIP support. 8O
