Mobilewhack.com has some great news about Mio A701 Gps phone”Don’t worry, the Mio torrent is still on. Showcased at CeBIT 2006, the Mio A701 is one of the most prolific GPS devices that I’ve come across in recent times. First, it’s a tri-band GSM/GPRS cell phone that runs Windows Mobile 5. Next, it uses a SiRFstar III GPS receiver to provide positioning information. Best of all, the A701 comes in a handy package.Anything with so much of features has to have a big screen and the A701 does not disappoint. Check out the big 2.7″ TFT screen. For fun, Mio has also included a 1.3 megapixel camera. Of course, Bluetooth is provided as well for your wireless needs.The A701 comes with a decent amount of on-board memory – 192 megs. Anyone that’s ever used a PDA phone knows that’s never enough, so Mio also provides a SD/MMC slot to up the memory to 2GB. A compass on the device provides the usual distance to location as well as compass arrow.Looking up points of interest is a breeze: at the touch of a button, you can access the nearest restaurants or entertainment houses along the way. An interesting feature is the ability of the device to send GPS co-ordinates via text messages – using which you can inform your friends with the A701 of your location.Priced at €649 (with Mio Maps) and €549 (without Maps), the Mio A701 is available now in Europe.

We all anticipated it, but now it still hits home hard. Sony officially delays the global launch of the Sony PS3 to November 2006. Sony issued a press-release saying that the PS3 will be released in the first 3rd of November simultaneously in the United States, Europe and Japan. At least this is good news. Sony plans to have 1 million PS3 production capacity per month to achieve a successful global launch. We will see if they can pull it off. Sony also talks about that the PS3 will use Dual Layer Blue-ray discs with 50GB capacity. Another interesting feature is a Gigabit Ethernet adapter that Sony says will be present in the Playstation 3. via i4u.com
