Aldi Sat Nav PDA's and PC's

Bubba_Shaboo

Hi i am confused when is this pc available from i have tried to search the aldi site but theres nothing on there, really want one of these, sounds amazing value! is it pc package (with monitor)?
please help someone
thanks

The PC will be available from 25/11/04 - no idea of price yet but if only £399 (as mentioned earlier) it's unlikely to be of the specs listed previously.

The current leaflet I have shows a teaser on the back - it's a base unit, TFT monitor, twin speakers, printer, scanner and keyboard and mouse but they're all wrapped in gold Christmas paper so you can't make out any details :-/

However the advert has the strap line: "Don't buy a PC package for Christmas until you've seen our latest fantastic offers" so it looks like all this lot will be available, possibly as a package but more likely as individual items.

HTH

Nope, don't think it would take compact flash, seem to remember it's a 256mb SD card.  

If anyone is thinking about one though, definitely get there before opening time on Thursday morning!

As I said on my 1st post, really satisfied with the pc I got last year (I know somebody else who got one at the sametime who feels the same also).  I work in IT and quite happy to build pc's etc but felt the Aldi pc was a very good deal for the price.

Regarding the pc's, just been past an Aldi store in the car and it looks like there was an advert on a poster for them, sure it said £399!..bargain if that's true!  Will get more details when I can.

The PDA uses MMC.. it looks very good for the price..

How does the ALDI PDA SAT nav rate

1) as a PDA
2) The SAT NAV software

Just picked up one of the Sat Nav PDA's this morning. Great piece of kit for the money, well chuffed.

Bought one today.There was a big Q out side Aldi before9AM. Quite pleased with the product but how will you change the battery in future?

Just bought on from my local store in Llantrisant, near McDonalds. Sounds like they might have a few there.

I have to say its amazing value for money.
A quality product. I'm really chuffed.

Took it out of the box and got SAT NAV working in minutes. The interface is fine and we went for a drive after charging it a little.

It was an impulse buy.
No quibbles in the store, asked if my girlfriend did not want the product, if I could bring it back.. No problems.
They said try it.. if you don't like it, bring it back for a refund.

The drive went fine.. Took us to each location perfectly.
The voice is clear and consise.

I guess you could install Tom Tom if you wanted?
Its a Pocket PC with all the usual stuff including Outlook 2002.

5 CD's in total. All the map software is included.
Massive selection of accessories too.
3 years warranty, first year Aldi will honour.

;D

Anything else you want to know... I'll try and help.

i got this also. the thing that annoyed me was having to queue up with loads of people buying 48 tins of spam and the like. all i wanted was the pda sat nav.

one thing that is slightly annoying is the woman who speaks says bare left or what ever sometimes when i know i need to go straight on, i woulod have gone around in circles if i had follwed her direction the other day.

must be blonde.
