Brighthand Reviews the Garmin iQue M5
Posted by Pat Logsdon in "HARDWARE" @ 09:00 PM
"Garmin's...first Pocket PC, the iQue M5 was released earlier this year. While this device is more expensive than a typical GPS receiver, it offers something those other devices don't have: a full-featured handheld. Garmin includes its MapSource City Select CD with this handheld. This includes five million points of interest (POIs) and address information for all of the U.S. and Canada. Naturally, you can't put all of this on the M5 at once. That's why the iQue M5 comes with software that lets you easily move move detailed street-level map data onto your handheld for just the areas you are interested in. "
For $750, you could get two jeweled kiwis from Finland, a really swell painting of a tiger, or even five pairs of "Professional Working Circus Clowing Pants. OR you could get a Garmin iQue M5 Pocket PC with built-in GPS. Brighthand's Ed Hardy takes a solid crack at the device and seems to like it for the most part. I'm not sure if I'd buy this over the tiger painting, though - what do you think? :D
