Mio’s new A501 GPS Phone
Published February 16th, 2007 in MioMio plans to release the A501, a Windows Mobile 5-based Pocket PC that features the highly sensitive SiRF Star III GPS chip. Putting aside the fact that it’s not running the surprisingly good looking Windows Mobile 6, the A501 doesn’t stray too far from the year-old A701, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Key differences include an improved camera (2 megapixels vs. 1.3 megapixels) and processor. Even though it’s not as big (read: bulky) as the A701, Mio still has the same size screen in there, complete with an iffy 240 x 320 resolution.
The A501 should hit stores in Europe in March. As it turns out, integrating GPS into mobile phones was all the rage at this year’s 3GSM. And since many of those phone run WiMo6, Mio may have to play catch up sooner rather than later.
