The Register Reviews the Asus MyPal A636
"Low-end GPS satellite navigation systems fall into two categories: PDAs with bundled route-planning kit, and dedicated navigation devices. Asus' MyPal A636 falls between the two: it's a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, incorporating Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so it has all the hallmarks of an up-to-date PDA. But the hardware has clearly been designed with GPS in mind rather than accessing personal information, so it looks like a dedicated unit."
The Register has just put the Asus MyPal A636 to the test. It's a Windows Mobile 5.0-based GPS-enabled Pocket PC that includes an Intel XScale 416MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 128MB Flash ROM, a 3.5" QVGA (240 x 320) LCD, an SD slot, Bluetooth, and 802.11b Wi-Fi. Annoyingly, they didn't comment on the battery life - one of the outstanding features of this device. Asus claims that it is capable of running for forty-four hours off a single charge, and other reviews of this device have shown that this figure isn't too far off the truth.

Looks almost like a Casio E-115. Just wish the joypad was on the left.

The review seems a little bare.
