Mio A501 Digi-Walker (GPS Pocket PC)

MiTAC are to release another Pocket PC named the Mio A501 Digi-Walker, it will feature Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.5 (I want Windows Mobile 6 in all devices now! ), integrated SiRFstar III GPS, a 201MHz TI OMAP 850 processor, 2.7″ QVGA screen, 64/128 RAM/ROM, Quad-band GSM and Bluetooth 2.0. There is however a distinct lack of 3G, replaced instead by the slower Edge/GPRS combination.

E-TEN Glofiish M700

It hasn’t been very long since I posted a review of E-TEN Glofiish X500, and here lies another device from this manufacturer on my desk. Upon first sight, the new E-TEN Glofiish M700 model has a lot in common with the Glofiish X500. The main difference between them which pitches the M700 against competitors, such as HTC TyTN and HTC P4350 (Herald) is a large sliding keyboard for quick and comfortable typing. Popularity of devices with an integrated keyboard – whether fixed, such as that in the HP iPAQ hw6900 or a sliding one, such the one in the HTC TyTN – has been growing, and E-TEN did not want to stay behind.
