ETEN is a fairly new brand for the South African market and the latest GPS does not disappoint. The G500 features a sporty, rather unique design that is about a science fiction film. The buttons on the front of the device touch the body and separate only one blue line that illuminates when using the device. Physically, this is not too big and it fits easily into his pocket. Your looks are also misleading because the ETEN G500 not only supports an integrated GPS receiver, but also a complete Pocket PC and mobile phone. We appreciate the fact that the product developer has chosen a built-in GPS receiver because the use of folding antennas may be cumbersome. Under the hood you will find a 400 MHz Samsung processor with 12 MB flash ROM and 64 MB of RAM.
The operating system that connects this system to Microsoft Windows Mobile 5. The package on the ship with the G500 is quite impressive and everything you need is immediately available from the box. It has not only an AC adapter and a USB sync cable, but also has a car charger and a bracket that allows you to control the GPS map. Despite the fact that the G500 does not ship natively any GPS software, suppliers, Just Mobile, HandyMap Al are packed with every device. Even though this PDA / mobile phone / GPS hybrid would render the need for multiple devices to be redundant, we were disappointed with the lack of Wi-Fi support, especially compared to some other devices in this round. By saying this, the ETEN G500 provides good performance and is sure to use some heads when used.
