The A636 from Asus has received a refresh and it now comes equipped with Mobile Navigator Pro and is known as the A636N. It shares the same specifications as the A636, save for the inclusion of 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 as compared to the 802.11b WiFi and Bluetooth 1.2 standards found in the A636. Powered by an Intel XScale 416MHz processor, the A636N ships with 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, an SD/SDIO/MMC slot, a 3.5" QVGA TFT LCD, and the SiRFStar III chipset. Unfortunately, the design leaves much to be desired and looks like a counterpart of the ancient Casio Pocket PC. If you have the cash and time to spare, it would be better to wait it out and purchase the MyPal A639 instead.
