Straight out of the box, the Mio 168 is a little beauty, a gem of design intergration of a fully functional Windows Pocket PC 2003 (Intel Xscale PXA-255 300 Mhz / 32MB ROM / 64MB SDRAM) with a SiRF compatible GPS reciever!! - very quick GPS start up time. Better than most GPS dedicated units, in my experience
Some PDA's are sleaker some are faster, but virtually no other model in this price range offers so much for so little. It can handle almost any add on game's, applications and software you care to throw at it and together with the included car kit, have the perfect solution to the modern car - Total Satalite
Navigation!!
I use my Mio every day and have never found it to be slow, even though i use fast technical equipment all day - it keeps up with the best of them! I also use mine as an MP3 player, as the SD/MMC expansion slot allows unlimited upgradeability and the installed media playback
software with handle just about any format (MP3/MP4/WAV/AAC etc...) + it has a very good speaker & screen and in full screen mode, DivX movies in the car are just plain showing off :) !! - the car kit includes Cradle and Charger. Extreamely handy ++
There is a whole array of standard Windows compatible applications installed on the Mio (Word,excel,PPT) and also Mio software that allows customisation of the handheld. Together with the included PC/Charging cable (not cradle - the only downside) software can be added as required.
Go get one before other manufactures clue up and intergrate GPS solutions into their
products and bring the market price up, NOW!
