Mio P560

The new Mio P560 is a GPS-equipped GPS-equipped Pocket PCs. You can put in pocket. It's large and relatively heavy, measuring 117mm tall by 70mm wide by 15.5mm thick and weight is 170g.

The P560's size does provide room for a big 3.5in. screen on-screen touch icons are also relatively large. Windows Mobile Pocket PCs are often button-heavy.


P560 has a huge amount of memory: our review sample had no less than 4GB of flash storage, and with Windows Mobile Pocket PCs generally maxing out at 128MB or 256MB, this is an extremely generous allocation. After a hard reset our P560 reported 394MB of available ‘flash disk’ storage.

There's also an SD card reader on the right-hand side that's SDHC compliant. This means it can accommodate high-capacity SDHC SD cards. The integrated SiRF Star III GPS receiver is another useful feature, which means the Mio P560 can double as a satellite navigation device.

We tested the Mio P560 by asking it to play music continuously, with the screen forced to remain on. We achieved 6 hours 38 minutes under these conditions.
