For those in search of a simple PDA with GPS capabilities, Mio is offering the P550 and P350. Both PDAs run Window Mobile and have a 400-MHz XScale processor. The P550 adds Bluetooth support and Wi-Fi wireless LAN connectivity.
For users wanting tunes while they find their way around, the company showed the H610, a GPS device that includes maps provided by Tele Atlas, a city guide function, and an MP3 music player that goes for 17 hours on a single charge.
