Mio P550 Review
Comments:
Mio's P550 is a PDA device with an in-built SiRF-Star III receiver, it offers plenty of extra features also, including 802.11g Wifi and Bluetooth support.
Review Verdict: The Mio P550 packs in a lot of features for £240, however we feel this device is suited for Navigating more than PDA use, due to its screen and CPU power.

Mio DigiWalker P550
Comments:
On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

QuickTake:
Pros: The Mio DigiWalker P550 is a PDA-GPS combo that offers preloaded maps of North America, Windows Mobile 5, and a free three-year subscription to the WorldMate travel app. The handheld has an integrated GPS receiver, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi.
Cons: The P550 didn't always generate efficient routes, and initial satellite acquisition took some time. The battery loses its charge quickly, and the screen isn't the sharpest we've seen.

Mio DigiWalker P550 Navigation PDA
Comments:
The Mio P550 contains a embedded GPS receiver but is no bigger than a regular PDA.
Review Verdict: The Digiwalker P550 contains an embedded SiRF Star III GPS chip, in a relatively svelte housing, making it ideal for navigating in the car, or on foot. It's also a good PDA with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. However, battery life could be better and the MioMa
