SoloPalmari Reviews the Pocket LOOX N560
I've always been impressed by Fujitsu-Siemens' hardware. The N560 is one device that I'd seriously love to play with, though the LOOXs never seem to make it out of Europe.  If you're as interested in this device as I am, then head over to SoloPalmari and check out their completed review. Unfortunately, you will have to settle for this less-than-impressive Babel Fish translation, but on the bright side, there are plenty of fantastic pictures and some interesting benchmark results to go with it.

I could write cool reviews too if I had 2000 year old ruins in my city to pose in front of

The hx4700's Imageon GPU doesn't exactly make it a beast either. Now the X51v's Intel 2700G GPU - that's something else altogether.

The screen on the 4700 is bigger and probably nicer. In fact, there aren't really any screens better looking than the 4700 IMO. Plus it has a CF slot. But having an antennaless GPS chip built in like in the N560 is pretty slick  Plus, the N560 has the bluetooth stereo working. I'm not sure if the iPaq 4700's WM5 upgrade had that. Tough call, but Fujitsu's Loox good reputation leans me towards the N560.

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. BUT.... remember the N560 is a VGA device roughly the size of the beloved Ipaq 41xx series. I think the biggest concern here is the smallish battery, necessary to keep the size down, but will make having a second battery and portable power availability a necessity.
