Navman PiN 570 - PDA/Navigation Portable Handheld Device
Doug Haluza
Device in a glider with PDA navigation software? These have now dropped
below $250 in the US and may be a better deal than a used iPAQ now. It
comes with a built in GPS, cradle and gooseneck. It runs WM2003 and has
a 266 MHz ARM processor, so it should be faster than an iPAQ 3800.

I've never used one, but a quick search suggests this
is an Acer N35 with slight (unspecified, but the casing
is different) alterations. Assuming that's the case:
It uses the Toppoly TD035STEB1 display, which is shared
by the
Acer N30
Acer N35
Acer N50
ASUS A620
ASUS A620BT
so any good or bad stories you can uncover about the
displays on those units should apply here too.
Take this all with a grain of salt though - this information
is taken from third parties (in this case, suppliers
of spare LCD screens) and could be inaccurate!
I think the Samsung 266Mhz processor used in this unit
is meant to be roughly as fast as a 400Mhz StrongARM
processor, and certainly should eclipse the 206Mhz
ARM processor on the iPAQ 3850.
The iPAQ 3800 series still has that nice big display
that's crystal clear in sunlight though.
