Mio pocket pc PDA & Handheld Computers

The Mio 168RS combines two of a business traveler's most handy companions to create a single indispensable device. Outfitted with Intel's Xscale 300 MHz processor and Microsoft's Pocket PC 2003 second edition operating system, the 168RS makes a great handheld PC, with the ability to run Microsoft's Pocket Outlook, Word, Excel, Media Player, and Internet Explorer software, along with other programs geared toward the mobile professional. At the same time, it also acts as a reliable and accurate GPS receiver, with a durable built-in antenna and sophisticated yet easy-to-use MioMap mapping software, which includes maps of the continental U.S., Hawaii, and Canada. The palm-sized device is ideal for anyone who's constantly on the go, especially folks who don't want to invest in a spendy car GPS system but still appreciate a GPS navigator's skill with directions. Ready to use right out of the box, the Mio 168RS's comprehensive route planning is reliable and easy to follow, with point-by-point driving directions conveyed both verbally and visually in real time. Users can view maps (along with photos and videos) in either landscape or portrait mode on the 3.5-inch TFT color LCD screen. Should they take a wrong turn or experience an unplanned detour, the Mio 168RS automatically recalculates the route and delivers new directions in real time. The device is also terrific when touring unfamiliar cities on foot, as business travelers needn't mess with large foldout maps or tour guides as they wind through busy crowds. Instead, they merely consult the 168RS and its millions of points of interest, which guides them to restaurants, hotels, historical landmarks, museums, libraries, and more. Once tourist time is over, travelers can get to work using the unit's pocket PC functions. The Mio 168RS helps users track and keep appointments, offering daily, weekly, and monthly calendar events, along with follow-up contacts. The device also synchronizes easily with your PC, so you won't have to keep two schedules or contact lists to stay on top of your business transactions. Among its technical specs are 32 MB of flash ROM and 64 MB of SDRAM memory, with a bonus SD/MMC expansion slot for additional storage capacity. For good measure, the 168RS even supports MP3 playback, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes during leisure time. Boasting all the necessary software, maps, and accessories for the mobile traveler--including a car charger and holder--the Mio 168RS is truly a one of a kind.
