Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket Loox N100 Reviewed
"It's rare that the mere sight of a gadget gets our team excited, but the arrival of the Fujitsu Pocket Loox N100 for review was an occasion where the visual impact alone had a small crowd gathered as it slid from it's protective packaging."
If you've never heard of this little mighty-mite before (110g 8O!), it's a dedicated navigation/media player device running on WinCE 5.0, with Navigator MobileNavigator 6 pre-loaded and up to 2GB ROM (N110). We've seen previews on this device before, but this is the first review to be put up and they seem pretty impressed by it. Strictly speaking this isn't a Pocket PC, but since it's WinCE we'll stretch a point for this cool-looking device :wink:.

I think putting Windows Mobile would have made this device so much more flexible. I could add another navigation software, geocaching software, a better media player. What if I wanted weather information?
The size is nice though. running WM would have put it in competion with the HP 5900. At least in my mind.

Since the preloaded navigation software doesn't include North American maps, it doesn't seem like there would be much point in importing it here. It's too bad. Something like this would be perfect for my wife.

Yes, a shame it doesn't run Windows Mobile - it looks cool.
