Default Jornada 568 Lookalike....

Just wondering what others thought about the looks of the new Mitac Mio 338 plus Pocket PC - is it just me or does it look remarkably like our beloved Jornadas?




Specifications are not too exciting (see http://www.infosync.no/news/2003/04/...38_plus_01.jpg) but I just cannot get over the visual similarity...

There ARE some definite simularities EXCEPT for:
  • No light sensor
  • Two leds (not one)
  • No ENTER button
  • No POWER button on the lower left
I think the hp Jornada 56x looks much nicer but it does have the same unmistakable grey/silver smile!
pclove: I LOVE my hp Jornada 568.

OK, so where do you turn this on? BTW, the link is to a picture, are there specs somewhere else?

I, too, LOVE my J568!!!!

Whoops, this is the Url I meant to include:

http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/3430.html

As I said in my initial post - nothing particularly spectacular.

As for appearances, yes there are lots of differences between the Mio and the 568 but at first glance the similarities are what really strike me.
