Combining GPS, Windows Mobile 5.0, a 520 MHz processor, 192 MB of memory and a 2.7-inch touch screen, Mio Technology's Mio A701 communicator debuts with a bang.
Hands-on impression
Blazing performance, good looks and a compact form factor; with the exception of the lack of one-handed navigation, the GPS-enabled Mio A701 makes for an excellent alternative for road warriors aiming to reduce the number of devices carried. Its high-resolution display switches effortlessly between portrait and landscape mode, while AGPS support enables accurate navigation in areas where satellite reception is poor. Bonus features include Windows Mobile 5.0, a 1.3 Megapixel camera and considerable amounts of memory.
