The Mio H610 is in town. GpsPasSion has just taken a look at this tiny Windows CE-based GPS device, which packs some great hardware (SiRFstar III, Samsung S3C2440 400MHz CPU, 64MB RAM, 2GB ROM, SD/MMC slot, TMC support, and 2.7" QVGA display). Doesn't it look great? ;)

The N100/110 has one big issue - it has static navigation on by default and at present there's no way to switch it off. As a result, it really is unusable for pedestrian navigation as it won't register movement below 4kmh. If the Mio has this beat, I don't see any real competition. Plus, it looks good ;)

It brings new meaning to "watch where you're going". ;)

I just read the review. The device looks really good. Would be awesome if the OS was WM AND Available with the iGo software for USA/Canada!

It comes with MioMap , which is a version of iGO :)
