Basically, this device is a Windows Mobile 6 PDA, with a SiRF GPS module, a VGA screen and a 400Mhz CPU. So not only is this device technically quite good, we must admit that the design is clearly beautiful… Well done MIO!"</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/martin-20071008-akihabaranews_Mio_P560.jpg" /><br /><br />Released on August 31, the Mio P560 made an appearance at CEATEC 07.
