The Mio P350 and P550 Revealed
French site, Mobinaute, has details on two new Mio GPS Pocket PCs, deemed to be successors to the A201. The P550 will feature a 400MHz processor, integrated GPS (SiRFstar III), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an SDIO/SD/MMC slot, and Windows Mobile 5.0. The P350 is the baby-brother version, lacking both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. No word yet on an official release date or price, but more will be revealed at CeBIT next month.

What kind of 400mhz processor does it have?

Not sure yet. If we were to use the A201 as a guideline, then it's most likely an Intel PXA27x processor.

Are either of these VGA?

Another unknown factor.  We should know more at CeBIT next month, but looking at the images above (though possibly misleading), it looks like a QVGA screen on both the P350 and P550.

I thought PXA27X's clock speeds are generally 312mhz, 412mhz, 520mhz, and 624mhz?

You mean 312MHz, 416MHz, 520MHz and 624MHz? That's correct, but in the past, I've seen a lot of sites publish pre-release hardware news with rounded figures to the nearest hundred, so these two devices, though reported as 400MHz CPU-equipped, may actually be using PXA27x 416MHz processors. However, if it really is dead on at 400MHz, then we could be looking at the Samsung S3C244x range.

Thank you for the correction. Just curious, are they still making PXA255/263 devices?

The PXA26x line was terminated last July.
The PXA25x may still be offered, though highly unlikely since the PXA27x is Intel's dominant XScale CPU at this current point in time.
