Mobile Planet taking pre-orders on the Mio 168

Brighthand is reporting that Mobile Planet is taking preorders on the Mio 168.
The price is $500 and the retailer says it will be available March 12.
The Mio 168 runs Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC on a 300 MHz Intel XScale PXA255 processor. It has 64 MB of RAM and 32 MB of ROM.
This model includes a 3.5-inch, 65,000-color transflective TFT LCD screen at 240 by 320 pixels. It has an SD/MMC memory card slot that is compatible with SDIO.
Of course, the Mio 168's most significant feature is its built-in GPS receiver. This appears to be similar to Garmin's iQue 3600, in that a large antenna is mounted to the back of the device. This can be swiveled up when the GPS receiver is in use, or flipped down to get it out of the way if it isn't needed. It comes with maps of the continental United States.
I know I wouldn't want a 300MHZ processor or a PPC without a removable battery. How about you?

Oooooooh. Another drool-worthy device it looks like.
Too bad I don't grow money in my back yard, though!
