Landscape GPS PDA Mio 188
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 PM
"Even Google doesn't seem to "know" about the Mio 188 that site visitor "CIM" kindly introduced to us today with a couple of pictures! No specs at this point, but Mio, who shot to "GPS PDA fame" with the Mio 168, the first PocketPC with a built-in GPS receiver, seem to have shrunk the GPS antenna to the point of making it barely noticeable and are using a "symetrical design" for the PDA that allows for "natural" landscape use, like on the iPAQ hx4705."
There's not much information about this device, but I like the idea of a Pocket PC that's designed to be used in landscape mode as much as in portrait mode. Current Pocket PCs can do landscape, but the hardware doesn't make extended landscape use practical in most cases.
