(p550 or a636) ?!, i'm faced with a tough decision

[RiGiD]

Hi

well guys I am in a large and fast need of an PPC the interesting thing is that i have been researching and researching and knew next to nothing about PPCs but thank to the fact i am a computers guy myself even though more the software kind of guy then the hardware I could pretty much point out the best ones (not that it was easy with all the great releases out there).
Anyway i fall across the Asus A636 and the Mio P550 which really attracted my attention in so many ways.

The A636 got so many great reviews everybody talking only good about it and the battery life I hear I just as good as it gets, The P550 is pretty much the same thing and I can get them both in the same price + 1GB memory card, but the thing about the P550 is that instead of poor 192mb or memory it got 512mb. Another issue about the P550 is that it is NEW! And there are no reviews of it nowhere out there on the net I just couldn't find any critics good or bad, So… would you guys help a guy in distress.

And please don't think that I might forget the thread I simply have a lot of work and very rarely home (especially with the war and all).

Another thing I would like to know is. Some people have noticed that they didn't want the A636 because it doesn’t have a VGA screen … what does that mean in PPC world?.

Thanks for any type of help & forgive me for my english
Cheers

I'm not too familiar with either of those but if they are identical pricewise with the Asus giving you 512Mb to 192Mb in the Mio...
Take the ASUS. Space is valuable.
VGA refers to a 680x480 pixel screen versus the standard 320x240 pixel Quarter VGA screen.
The difference in most respects is indistuingishable in the native OS except in Pictures and Movies which look far more detailed on a VGA PPC...
