Mio GPS 3.5G handset coming early next year

Mio 3G phone

DigiTimes is reporting that Mio will launch a 3.5G handset with GPS during the first quarter of 2009, ahead of the Garmin nuvifone. While nothing was mentioned about this being released in the U.S., Mio was showing off a concept model at CES last year (image via Engadget), so it wouldn't surprise us to see it on this side of the pond.

Top 10 GPS for November 2008 Not seeing last month's list? Click here for the latest listing of the top 10 GPS receivers on GPS Tracklog. I'm going to do something a little different this month. Typically these rankings reflect the number of times each review is read, but this month's figures are based on how many GPS units have been sold by our partners (Amazon, etc.) via GPS Tracklog and GPS Deals. This different method of ranking has resulted in some ties, because rather than thousands of page views, we're often looking at just a few sales of each unit. There are some interesting holiday trends emerging here. The market seems to be split between newer models and two budget categories -- entry-level devices and older (often discontinued) units on clearance. There definitely seems to be a trend towards budget units and away from the latest and greatest. As usual, the links below go to our GPS reviews.
