Mio H610 – is it really what women want?

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 6th 2006 2 Comments

Be honest with me now. Do women actually need their own, specially-designed sat-nav? Mio seems to think so, although “specially-designed” to them appears to mean “slap some flowers on it”. The H610 has the dubious pleasure of being the first GPS unit aimed squarely at woman, costing £280 ($532.50) and sporting a variety of interchangeable bezels. There are maps of 24 European countries as well as in excess of 1.8 million TeleAtlas POI, but of course women will be more interested in the clothing size conversion calculator also built-in.

I find myself more than a little embarrassed on Mio’s behalf. How they ever thought this was a good idea is beyond me; I can only assume they looked at the fad for aftermarket cellphone shells back in the days of the Nokia 3360 and thought they could cash in six years later.

Slinky Mio H610 GPS gets put through its paces

You’ll hear this one a lot: “If Apple made a GPS, it’d probably look like Mio’s H610″, but then Mio invite it upon themselves by designing a unit that would even make Jonathan Ive do a double-take. The slick white case, the absence of cluttered controls, the achingly sharp screen… it blows the capable but dowdy TomTom navigators out of the water (which they really ought not be in, as they’re generally not waterproof).
