Manufacturer's product description
The Mio 168's amazing GPS capabilities gets a fix on your position within few seconds, even if you've just come out of a tunnel or parking garage, to keep you on track toward you destination. And even when you're not driving, the portable Mio 168 can present you with street directions as soon as you come out of a subway, so you never need worry about losing your way. The Mio 168 uses a TFT LCD screen, providing benefits-such as clear visibility in strong light, high brightness and contrast, superior clarity, and exceptionally crisp image quality - that traditional STN or other 4096-color low-end color displays cannot hope to match. The Mio 168 also integrates LED backlighting technology that protects your eyes through brighter, more uniformly illuminated screen images, while conserving power to extend battery life. The thoroughly integrated design of the Mio 168 spares you the need to buy multiple devices. And the built-in GPS receiver is simple to install and keeps the inside of your car tidy. Used with appropriate GIS map software, the Mio 168 lets you know immediately where you are without having to thumb through bulky atlases or pore over clumsy foldout maps. The Mio 168 uses Microsoft's Pocket PC 2003 operating system, and with its sleek, ultra-light form factor, is the ideal PDA, in addition to being the perfect GPS navigation system when you're behind the wheel.
Advantages Intergrated GPS / Easy to navigate / Included Car Kit w - Charger / SD Memory upgradeable / VALUE FOR MONEY ! ! ! Disadvantages Reasonable Battery Life / Slower Processor than more recent models / Cable, not cradle
...Straight out of the box, the Mio168 is a little beauty, a gem of design intergration of a fully functional Windows Pocket PC 2003 (Intel Xscale PXA-255 300 Mhz / 32MB ROM / 64MB SDRAM) with a SiRF compatible GPS reciever!! - very quick GPS start up time. Better than most GPS dedicated units, in my experience
Some PDA's are sleaker some are faster, but virtually no other model in this price range offers so much for so little. It can handle almost any add on game's, applications and software you care to throw at it and together with the included car kit, have the perfect solution to the modern car - Total Satalite Navigation!!
I use my Mio every day and have never found it to be slow, even though i use fast technical equipment all day - it keeps up with the best of them! I also use mine as an MP3 player, as the SD/MMC expansion slot...

Review of Mitac Mio168 Pocket PC with UK GPS Software by

taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages Tidies up your desk top, displays your PDA nicely Disadvantages LED can be annoying
...Today's PDAs add functionality and extend their usefulness by allowing you to synchronise data items- such as calendar appointments and email- with your home computer, meaning that you don't have to enter the info twice in order to have it both on your central workstation and in your pocket. This does mean, however, that you need to be able to connect your PDA somehow to your PC. There are a few methods of doing this- bluetooth, wi-fi or cable.
The Mio168 Digiwalker from Mitac (please see my dedicated review for more information) doesn't come with bluetooth as standard, it's difficult to find an appropriate adaptor, and when you do, it's expensive. The relevant cables for both charging and synchronising your Mio168 are included in the box, but these don't offer a very tidy solution- the ideal situation with a PDA such as the this...
