Verdict

A Windows Mobile handheld without a built-in phone may seem an anachronism, but the Mio P560's generous storage capacity, SDHC support and GPS receiver are all up-to-date features.

Typical price

£ 239.99

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
