Asus MyPal A636

By (cnet.com)

An excellent example of integrating GPS into a PDA, the Asus MyPal A636 includes North American maps, a loud speaker, and excellent battery life. It also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Windows Mobile 5

Thicker and heavier than competitors, the Asus MyPal A636 has a 3.5-inch screen that's too small for viewing driving directions, and the included 256MB SD card holds the bare minimum of maps. There are also no map updates available at this time

The Asus MyPal A636 is a PDA with a built-in GPS receiver that puts maps and directions on an equal footing with appointments and e-mail. While it delivers accurate directions and long battery life, it's a bit sluggish.

, but its ergonomics are excellent. The large 3/4" speaker grille faces front and ensures that you'll hear voice guidance in the car, and the A636 has both a directional pad and an application launcher pad that's arranged much like a d-pad for easy use

"I agree with most of what Halfsheep had to say about this product."

ASUS makes great products and the battery life is fantastic. The only thing Halfsheep left out.

Big and bulky and no WIFI activesync. You have to love Microsoft. Just tell me how much it will cost for WIFI activesync.
