Summary
- The HP iPAQ rw6818 and Mitac MIO A502 both feature a 2.7-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with identical resolutions and pixel densities.
- In terms of performance, the iPAQ is equipped with a more powerful 416 MHz Intel PXA 272 CPU compared to the 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S in the MIO A502, which may result in better overall responsiveness.
- Both devices have a 2 MP rear camera with video capabilities, but neither includes optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
- The iPAQ has a larger 1530 mAh battery, offering potentially longer usage time than the MIO A502's 1050 mAh battery.
- Software-wise, the iPAQ runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC, while the MIO A502 operates on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, which may provide a slightly more refined user experience.
- Build quality is comparable, with the iPAQ being slightly heavier and thicker than the MIO A502.
