Summary
- The HP iPAQ rw6828 and Mitac MIO A502 both feature a 2.7-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with the same resolution and pixel density, offering similar display quality.
- In terms of performance, the iPAQ is powered by a faster Intel PXA 272 CPU at 416 MHz compared to the MIO's 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S, which may result in better overall responsiveness.
- Both devices have a 2 MP rear camera, but neither offers optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
- The iPAQ has a larger battery capacity of 1530 mAh, compared to the MIO's 1050 mAh, likely providing longer usage time.
- The iPAQ runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, while the MIO operates on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, which may offer a slightly enhanced software experience.
- Build quality is comparable, with the iPAQ being slightly heavier and thicker than the MIO.
