Chalking up the second communicator with embedded GPS functionality, Mio Technology has unveiled its Windows Mobile based Mio A701, merging phone and handheld functionality with positioning services. Powered by Windows Mobile 5.0, the Mio A701 is second only to the HP iPAQ hw6500 series, introduced this summer, in its level of integration.
Based on an Intel PXA270 processor running at 520 MHz, the device will feature a 2.7-inch touch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. A total of 192 MB of memory is available, of which 128 MB is in the shape of non-volatile Flash ROM, whereas the remaining 64 MB is of the RAM variety in which applications will run.
The main draw of the GSM-based communicator is however its integrated GPS functionality, powered by a latest-generation SirfStar III chipset, with Mio Technology having managed to avoid flip-out antennas as seen in previous products from the company. Other highlights of the Mio A701 include a 1.3 Megapixel camera, as well as Bluetooth 1.2 and an SDIO capable SD/MMC Card expansion slot.
I have fallen in love with this and will be stalking it like R. Kelly.. (finish the joke) I hope to the heavens that this will be released in the States, as I am ready to leave Sprint behind.
