I'm interested too, partly because I'm a gadget freak, but partly because I can't read maps while I'm driving Do the PDA's come with a GPS receiver, or do you need to connect one via Bluetooth/Serial/USB?

Mitac mio is the 'cheapest' all in one unit (GPS antenna on the back) and is available with various GPS software (Tomtom navigator 3 is the main competitor, and you can pick up free Speed camera overlays). Only has a 300Mhz processor though (which, to be fair, is more than enough for Tomtom).

The Dell Axims are SWEET and they currently have the fastest processor right now, 624Mhz (400Mhz is the norm). Their x30 model (400Mhz me thinks), comes in at

I have a Dell Axim X5 which is now about a year old. Bought it (or rather SWMBO got it as an early Xmas present) as a package deal with Tomtom (wired version). So it came with the normal data pc docking station, but a car cradle, and various mounting brackets, etc, gps receiver... It was about

I think the X50 is the VGA based (640x480) one, otherwise much the same (slight difference in size of course).

Yep, I almost forget 'Hybrid' PDA's (Mobile/PDA), like the XDA. These have a mobile phone with GPRS (always on data access, costed by the byte). Tomtom 3 owners can subscribe to traffic alerts, which are updated on the map in real time (via GPRS). You could do this also with a GPRS-enabled mobile (most are nowadays), and a Bluetooth PDA. Remember, GPRS is normally charged at around

Hey,

I've just found the Fujitsu loox 610 for

I have a Siemens Pocket Loox 610. Bluetooth and wireless built in. Can take microdrives as well as SD cards. Just been looking at the photos I have stored on my 2GB card, much better than looking at them on my camera's LCD.
