There is an offer on at Ebuyer for the RX1950 handheld PDA with GPS receiver built into the car mount for £139.99. Free delivery and quidco available.

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/118912

It's woth noting that the PDA is actually very small and lightweight, not like in the eBuyer pic (it's showing it there in the screen mount). The PDA on its own is £175 on Amazon:

**Take a look at the Amazon page to see what the PDA looks like out of the holder.

A good feature of this is that it can connect to the internet wirelessly at a hotspot or at home if you have a wireless network. Only thing it's missing is bluetooth.

There's a review of the PDA here which is positive apart from the lack of bluetooth:

It's worth noting that TomTom could be installed on here.

Can TomTom can be used with it? Is it gonna be fast enough for route calculation etc..?

I use tomtom 6 (and previously TT5) on my acer n35 PDA which has 266mhz, and it works just fine.
300mhz should be plenty.

anyone else having problems with the ebuyer link above ?????:mad:

thanks smartie1976. I don't know much about running gps on PDAs but want to buy one. can you install speed camera alerts software with tom tom on such a PDA? also is memory an issue, because this one has only 33MB of memory available on it?

thanks.

No, the link works fine.

I've been looking for one of these, but with the GPS built in (as I get more lost on Foot than when driving. ). Shame this one has the GPS in the bulky cradle - as its an absolute steal!

(Actually, this is the sort of thing I've been wanting, if anyone else is interested - jsut found this at a decent price! http://www.totalpda.co.uk/Acer-N35-GPS-PDA.aspx NOTE: No Wifi, which is why I'm still looking, as I want to be able to Surf (Not sure why you can have Internet explorer on it if its not wifi...)

Jakaru

From what I've read, stick an SD card in, you can get 2gb easy. I'm wondering now if you can access the maps etc once its not in GPS mode, so you can still use it to get to where you're going... hmm...

does anybody know if tom tom speed camera alert software can be installed on PDAs along with TomTom software?

the unit seems to be selling fast on ebuyer..

Jakaru

How can you tell how well its selling?

The reviews btw seem to indicate that as its a Pocket PC, you can install whatever GPS software you like, and Tomtom is mentioned a lot.

(Ignore that first line - I just spotted where the Stock level is! )

Hi all was about to post this as well but was beaten to it! Jakaru how do you know the GPS receiver is built into the cradle ? On the specs it says inbuilt?
