GPS chipset, included navigational software, brushed metal finish, 3.5mm headphone jack, excellent battery life
GPS experience doesn't compare to dedicated portable units, Windows Mobile 5 rather than 6 on earlier units, bland design, heavy
The MyPal A696's GPS is handy, but the navigational experience isn't as satisfying or complete as the multitude of dedicated portable units on the market. What remains is a solid, yet unremarkable PDA.
It has been relatively quiet on the PDA front of late, but ASUS still...

I bought this unit as an open box, so I can review the unit not the accessories. Battery life is about four hours. GPS has pretty good reception. It worked with the GPS software from the following companies - TOMTOM, GARMIN, IGO, MAPPOINT, as long as it i...
For some reason the bluetooth doesn't work and I was unable to fix it.. WI-FI has poor reception,but let's not forget that it is a PDA.
