Price: $399.99 to $499.99 USD
Specifications: 400MHz Intel XScale processor, 64MB RAM, 32MB ROM, QVGA Display, SDIO slot, integrated GPS system
Pros:
- Very clear, bright screen (no yellowing);
- Awesome software;
- Device is nice and small;
- Everything is included...
- ...except a cradle;
- GPS not as integrated as I would have liked;
- Antenna gets in the way;
- GPS fix is sometimes slow.
The PiN is a very stable PPC/GPS solution that will flawlessly navigate you to your destination 90% of the time (and get you very close the other 10%). I set it on the female voice and she helped me so much that I gave her a name, Viki, the AI from I, Robot. :D
