(Some) Recommended PDAs for Run.GPS

There's a lot of PDAs and Smartphones (about 100 different models) on the market now that can be used with Run.GPS. Basically, the requirements are the following:

• Operating System
  • Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6
  • both Pocket PC and Smartphone editions are supported
• Screen
  • Run.GPS Trainer UV now supports almost all sizes and orientations
• Memory
  • you need about 10 MB of free memory to install Run.GPS

If you buy a new Pocket PC, we recommend it should have the following:

• built-in GPS
• built-in camera (Run.GPS allows you to "geo-code" your images, i.e. to automatically place them on the map)
• phone capabilities (not only in case of an emergency very useful, - you can also upload and download to and from the GPS-Sport portal using a wireless Internet connection)
• WLAN (to upload/download when you're at home or near a hotspot, surf the Internet or use Skype)

There are already some devices that have all of these features, for instance the HTC P3300 (=O2 Xda Orbit).
