Dave's PDA Reviews Garmin's iQue M5
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"I have not been as excited about a device as I was after taking the Garmin iQue M5 out of the box. For some reason (which I will try and lay out below) the iQue M5 made me extremely excited even before I turned it on. Garmin is a name that those in the Pocket PC community may only know of if they are aware of iQue like of Palm OS devices. Garmin makes a series of GPS devices including two Palm OS based handhelds. This year, Garmin made a change and introduced a Pocket PC handheld with an embedded GPS. The iQue M5 is the first Windows Mobile device to include an embedded GPS unit with the accompanying antenna. Including GPS tracking software and downloadable map data, the Garmin iQue M5 combines the power of a full fledged GPS unit into a Windows Mobile based Pocket PC."
Dave Conger, over at Dave's PDA, gives the Garmin iQue M5 a close look. While the pictures are a little dark for my tastes, overall the review is very well-done -- those of you who are heavy GPS users should certainly take a look.
