Normally I wouldn't
report on a Taiwanese company that nobody had ever heard of
except for two things: first I wanted an excuse to show the
new pocket sized PDA, and secondly they are producing a range
of battery powered GPS car mounts.
The PDA is
really a 7inch touch screen with 800x480 resolution Personal
Navigation Device. It is powered by an internal battery and
has a 400MHz Intel PXA255 processor at its core and a SiRF
Star III GPS receiver built in. It runs an unlocked version
of Windows CE.Net 4.2 and has options for on-board WiFi and
GPRS. So all in all it is a well specified device.
The GPS Car
holders come with a gooseneck windscreen suction mount. These
have an onboard GPS receiver and connect to the PDA via the
ActiveSync port. It is not clear which chipset is being used,
but you might assume SiRF Star III as with the PND. A uniqueness
about this mount is that is contains a battery which should
keep the GPS running when the power from the car has been
removed.
