"Mio Technology Ltd. has introduced to the North American market its GPS pocket PC, the Mio168RS. The new handheld device is a fully functional Pocket PC featuring their newest mapping system that is fully interoperable with the built-in GPS antenna and navigation system. The Mio 168RS is a small and light (112.8 mm x 69.6 mm x 16.3 ~ 24.15mm, weighing 147g) Pocket PC based on an Intel Xscale 300 MHz processor and Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition. The new Pocket PC comes with 32MB Flash ROM and 64MB SDRAM, a SD/MMC card slot, and Consumer IR. The suggested price at launch for the standard Mio168RS is US$599."
Decent, but I'm having a hard time getting excited about this. Especially when you can get a better Pocket PC, a BT GPS, and decent nav software for less than this integrated package. What do you think? Is an all-in-one worth the premium?
