We’re not suggesting playing a 720p vid while at the wheel, but Mio’s Moov V780 — or “premium PND,” as they call it — sure is a jack of all trades. We spent sometime playing around with the 7-inch tablet at the company’s CeBIT press conference and came away surprisingly impressed with the entire experience. It’s tapered edges and smooth plastic back remind us a lot of the Dell Mini 5, though Mio’s gone with a NVIDIA Tegra chip (we were told Tegra 2, but our friends at jkkmobile sneaked a peak at the device’s console and discovered it was apparnetly rocking the progenitor Tegra chip, at least on the show floor) and created a nice 3D user interface on top of Windows CE. Though it doesn’t support multitouch, the capacitive screen made flicking through the coverflow-like interface a breeze and the virtual keyboard was a pleasure — those who wish to use the device to fire off e-mails can always pick up the carrying case pictured above. So yes, overall we definitely like the Moov V780 and its Internet tablet/PND capabilities… but not enough to pay the 599 euros the company expects to sell it for. Perhaps the video below will convince you, but for now we’ll be waiting for this one to drop in price when it starts shipping this summer.
