Filed under: Review - 07 Jan 2008

Filed under: CES, Gaming

Filed under: Cellphones, CES, GPS
It was the end of the day and we’re rather charming, so the Mio reps were nice abundant to pull their super off-limits dual-front GPS phone prototype out of its glass case and let us play with it a bit. Obviously it’s not the most operational thing in the world, but…
