Windows Phone Thoughts: PocketNow Reviews the Asus MyPal A636 GPS-Enabled Pocket PC

"A number of manufacturers have begun releasing Windows Mobile Pocket PCs targeted at the GPS Navigation market. These devices usually include a built in GPS receiver and bundled navigation software. The nice thing about these types of Pocket PCs is they often cost less than a stand-alone or in-car GPS Navigation system... and they've got many more features. The downside is that they may be a bit too complicated for the average user. The Asus A636 is the first of such Pocket PC Mobile Navigators running on Windows Mobile 5.0. We'll take a thorough look at the execution of this combination. Read on for the review!"



I've finally invested in GPS technology myself (having bought a standalone unit), but for the longest time, I couldn't figure out if I wanted a separate GPS receiver, a standalone GPS unit, or a combo GPS/Pocket PC unit. If I had gone the route of a combo unit, Asus probably would have been the first unit that I investigated. So does this unit deliver the goods? Check out PocketNow's review to find out!
