"The Pharos Traveler GPS 525 is a full-featured GPS navigation tool wrapped up in one very small attractive device. It’s ready to go out-of-the-box with preloaded maps of 50 major U.S. cities and highways. The uniquely sensitive GPS receiver ensures you’ll be able to get a position fix just about anywhere. The revolutionary Pharos Traveler is the first ever and smallest GPS handheld with integrated WiFi and Bluetooth technology."



Here's another HTC Galaxy-device similar to the POZ-G300 GPS Pocket PC that Darius posted on earlier today. This is an intriguing unit if you're in the market for an all-in-one Pocket PC / GPS / WiFi / Bluetooth device. The SiRFstarIII GPS chipset should provide for some solid GPS connectivity, I would think. Unfortunately, it's the lack of VGA screen that just kills the interest for me. No word yet on price or availability.

Hey Ekkie,

It has a 2.8" screen. Are you sure you want to TRY viewing a VGA screen on something that small?

Ha! Great point!

I guess what I'm saying is that I would want a BIGGER device with a VGA screen (~3.8-4") with the built-in GPS and all that other stuff.

There! You happy?
