Windows Phone Thoughts: The Mio Digiwalker 339 - Multimedia To Go

I'll Just Reach Into My Utility Belt
The other extra that the m339 ships with is the Mio Utility that you can find in the System folder under Settings.

Its three tabs let you:

• see some basic system information such as the ROM and Operating System version.

• set your m339 to either use the CPU at its maximum capacity all the time or run the device to get the best battery life. This is a smart idea and lets you decide, depending on what you're doing whether battery life or performance is more important.

Figure 26: My favorite Mitac Utility feature is its ability to let you manage the performance vs battery life equation.

• decide which system event, such as SD card insertion or button presses, can power the device on. Again, this doesn't make a big difference to the device, but sometimes it's the little things that can enhance the user experience.

Conclusions
The Mio Digiwalker 339 boasts that it is the world's first Pocket PC with an integrated digital camera. The camera takes reasonable photos but I would not use it as my main camera. However, for people that need to take a quick snap or shoot a short video, it is quite handy. I can see the m339 being used by mobile workers that need to take the occasional photo in the field. The audio side of the equation is well executed but a further memory slot and the addition of Bluetooth would make this a great device.
