What's Hot

GPS chipset, included navigational software, brushed metal finish, 3.5mm headphone jack, excellent battery life

What's Not

GPS experience doesn't compare to dedicated portable units, Windows Mobile 5 rather than 6 on earlier units, bland design, heavy

The Final Word

The MyPal A696's GPS is handy, but the navigational experience isn't as satisfying or complete as the multitude of dedicated portable units on the market. What remains is a solid, yet unremarkable PDA.
