Computex 2008: Mio Leap K1 and G50

Mio introduced two handsets at Computex 2008. The Windows Mobile 6.1 G50 and the two-faced LEAP K1.

The G50 features a 400MHz processor, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth, possible Wi-Fi (still needs confirmation), GPS, and a 2.0-megapixel camera, running on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. There's also Spb Mobile Shell 2.0, MioMap 2008, and geotagging support as added extras.

The Leap K1 has two faces - one with a traditional numeric keypad, while the other features an expansive display perfect for displaying routes. The communications system of the Leap K1 features a tri-band GSM (900, 1800, 1900), 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, side SIM card slot that is hot-swappable, and a micro-SD slot. The multimedia functions include a mp3/mp4 player, and portable navigation device feature running under Windows Mobile 6.1. The Leap K1 has Mio's own cell phone interface with text messaging capabilities.
