Mio P560 is not an independent satellite navigation device. It is a pocket PC with an integrated GPS. To be more precise, a GPS PDA (Personal Digital Assistants). Along with the full PDA capacities including free phone calls (as per the manufacturer’s website) and internet access via the built-in Wi-Fi, Mio P560 PDA Phone is a versatile navigation device.
Integrated with a 400MHz processor and a SiRF Star III GPS receiver, Mio P560 Handheld GPS PDA offers a quick route and re-route calculation. This versatile Mio GPS navigation device can be used for both on road as well as off road navigation. You can buy this Mio handheld PDA with or without MioMap software.
Even though Mio P560 is a pocket PC, its design doesn’t seemed to be ‘pocket-able’. It is relatively large with a dimension of 72mm X 115mm X 18mm and weighs around 170 grams. It has a 3.5 inches display of resolution 240 X 320 pixels, which showcases large icons. You can access the applications either by buttons or by the stylus supplied with it. Many of you may not find the stylus comfortable.
A major aspect that disappoints you in Mio P560 PDA Navigation Device is the absence of a built-in phone. That means, you will have to carry a separate mobile phone for calls. Besides, there is no camera as well.
Counting its plus points, Mio P560 pocket PDA features an impressive memory of 4GB with an SD card slot of high capacity. There is bluetooth connectivity, aiding in local transfers. P560 PDA navigation is compatible with most Windows Mobile 6 navigation software. The headphone jack integrated into it is 2.5mm and you require an adapter to accommodate a 3.5mm jack.
The battery life of Mio P560 Bluetooth PDA stands for a maximum of six hours, but this time period will be less if you use its Wi-Fi and bluetooth functionality more. Overall, Mio P560 is a PDA with some sensible features, but plainly, it lacks many features that a modern pocket PC has.
