Round-up of Reviews on the Garmin iQue M5
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "ARTICLE" @ 08:00 PM
"I had the pleasure to get my hands on the latest PDA/GPS device from Garmin, this time in the Pocket PC flavor. The iQue M5 is Garmin's first device that utilizes the Windows Mobile operating system. They've previously released two Palm based devices (iQue 3200 and iQue 3600) that were considered very solid offerings. They've continued the success with the M5, if you're willing to spend the $630-710 (street)." - from BargainPDA.com's Garmin iQue M5 Review

In addition to the very thorough and very image-happy BargainPDA review, there's an MSNBC review in which columnist Gary Krakow proclaims that the change from PalmOS to Windows Mobile has enabled the M5 to become a "super PDA". I hope he's right, because this doesn't come cheap (official list price of $750) considering the QVGA screen resolution and lack of WiFi. So if you're in the market for an all-in-one GPS/PDA solution, give these two articles a read and let us know what you think! Anyone with first-hand accounts out there?
