The ASUS A696 is pretty skinny at 1.57cm but manages to incorporate full GPS functionality without a protruding antenna, and is encased in stainless steel with that now all-important anti-glare 3.5-inch touchscreen. The A696 GPS capabilities come courtesy of Destinator Technologies' routing engine and navigation content and it boasts a QuickNav button making it quicker and easier to travel directly to a predetermined address or POI."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/martin-20070705-Asus_A696.jpg" /><br /><br />Need a GPS-equipped PDA with some stainless steel goodness? Check out the <a href="http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=8&l2=0&l3=0&l4=0&model=1559&modelmenu=1">Asus Mypal A696</a>. It also offers 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.0. Running at 416MHz, it also has 256MB Flash ROM, 64MB SDRAM and expansion with an SD card slot. Perhaps best of all, this product description from Asus: <i>"Combining a powerful suite of applications into an ultra-slim PDA that exudes a high-quality feel, the ASUS A686/696 is the power accessory of choice for the well-heeled and well-traveled."</i> Never knew I needed to check my heels to qualify for purchase. :wink:
