Reviews of the Asus MyPal A636

CNET Review
The Good: An excellent example of integrating GPS into a PDA, the Asus MyPal A636 includes North American maps, a loud speaker, and excellent battery life. It also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Windows Mobile 5.
The Bad: Thicker and heavier than competitors, the Asus MyPal A636 has a 3.5-inch screen that's too small for viewing driving directions, and the included 256MB SD card holds the bare minimum of maps. There are also no map updates available at this time.
The Bottom Line: The Asus MyPal A636 is a PDA with a built-in GPS receiver that puts maps and directions on an equal footing with appointments and e-mail. While it delivers accurate directions and long battery life, it's a bit sluggish.

Review Summary: Overall, the Asus A636 is an excellent multi-use device for in-car navigation. While the form factor isn't exactly innovative, the large screen is good for viewing maps while driving. A VGA screen would have been nicer, but would have also made the price
