The SPB is not a perfect test, as it benchmarks more likely the memory operations and not the
processor performance. Reading/writing files, directories etc. need fast memory access, and not fast CPU
calculations: However, for business people it’s very important that their PDA can handle many and big
files, so that reading e.g. a long Word document doesn’t freeze the operating system. Still, this didn’t
allow us the wanted Samsung vs. Intel CPU test, but we can still accept the results, as the overall
performance shows something about the CPU’s power as well.
The Benchmark tests are won by Mio, with big advantage.
However, it’s very important to note that even though the E-TEN was the poorest in Benchmark tests,
in every day usage it’s not slow at all, in fact, accessing of Start/Programs and browsing there (causing
often problems for the Blue Angel) was even faster than in the Mio! Using the navigation software, the
G500 was again faster; it also needed less time to launch GPSProxy. So in every day usage neither of
the machines is slower.
The batteries performed the same, but with constant navigation the Mio seemed to consume more
energy. I wasn’t able to test the machines how long they last with one charge, but the Mio ran out of
power twice during the test period (one week). I think though that this was due to the more playing
around with it and less charging.
11. ROM support
There’s no ROM upgrade yet for either device, but I assume that E-TEN will be better, as it’s famous
of fast upgrade support, almost as fast as HTC. It already promised the new release supporting the built-in
FM radio. Mio, however, has never ever released any ROM upgrade to its machines, so we can only hope
that they will change their minds and stop this secret life of updates or no updates. However, since there
are no upgrades out yet to any of the two, I don’t call for a winner in this category.
12. Personal experiences, human opinions
According to the above written, the Mio wins in six categories, the E-TEN wins in six categories, and
they are the same in the remaining seven categories. So in general there’s no difference between the
devices, so if decision has to be made, it has to become personal. My personal opinions are as
follows.
Mio
Pro Contra
size worse performance than expected
design very-very few hardware buttons
faster GPS (experienced GPS manufacturer) fragile, thin stylus
(might break when pulled out halfway)
a little better screen (depends on Today scheme) complicated “on/off” and key lock
better phone quality poor preinstalled software
good quality leather case
E-TEN
Pro Contra
bigger screen bigger size and weight
many hardware buttons slower GPS cold boot
(even though it’s made by RoyalTek)
excellent preinstalled software strange (worse?) phone quality
good stylus poor leather case
cool GSM handling stupid AC charging solution
cool backlight settings
