Mitac Mio 168 w/GPS

Mitac Mio 168 w/GPS

PocketPC with integrated GPS, runs about U$450 at Costco.com. Great idea, and you still have use of the SDIA slot. Biggest problem is that it's running an XScale 300Mhz, so it will be really slow. If they bumped it up to the latest XScale 624Mhz and combined it with the Dell Axim X50v it would be one killer system.

"Most of today’s current crop of Pocket PC’s or Windows Mobiles devices come equipped with a typical set of specifications; the ubiquitous XScale processor, and SDIO memory slot, transreflective screen, 64 Megs of ram, and in the higher end models wireless capability with either WiFi and/or Bluetooth connectivity. Some manufactures will even go out on a limb and include such innovations as 2 memory slots or a built in keyboard; slow down there cowboy those innovations are just too exciting."
