hi all.

im new to pda`s and basically all i want is a device i can run tomtom or similar software on.
the mitac 168 really appeals to me because of the built in gps and carkit.
i also like the dell x30 312mhz but if i buy this i will have to buy a bluetooth gps receiver and carkit.
the price of the dell x30 would work out a bit more expensive, i would probably buy a 20 channel bluetooth gps receiver, and then theres the carkit.
how many channels does the mitac receiver have?

If you need to be mobile then the Mitac 168 would be better for you. If you do however feel like a powerful PDA (mabye the Dell 624Mhz and Bluetooth GPS is better for you look at SiRF-Star-III based GPS like the holux 236

20 channel receivers are good but you will never pickup 20 satellites (well I have not ).
