I'm disappointed too about the processor , 400Mhz more than enough for simple navigation, but in those "advanced" navigation devices it's barely sufficent. Earlier experience with go910 proven that enabling his excellent vocal synt would take 30 sec or more time to calculate a route (and 2sec or more to the normal to reroute if took the wrong way)than using only the normal vocal guidance, not only the processor but the ram was taxed too : vocal synth voices taken about 47Mb of 64MB total ram. Using the go910 in navigation mode with synt voice while playng mp3s taxes the unit so much if i take a wrong route it take 10 or more second to recalculate the route...
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Why only 400Mhz CPU?
Why do you care?
Because a new PDA mostly has a 500Mhz+ CPU!...
