Move over, , there are a couple of new kids in town who want to challenge you to a duel. The MyPal A636 and the MyPal A632 are the latest PDAs from Asus, but unlike the company's previous Pocket PCs (the MyPal A730 and the MyPal A716), these two models have integrated GPS receivers so that you can navigate and organize on one device. The A636 ($599) and the A632 ($549) feature the latest Windows Mobile 5 operating system, Bluetooth, 128MB of flash ROM and 64MB of SDRAM, and an SDIO/MMC expansion slot. The A636 will have built-in Wi-Fi, while the A632 will not. Both devices also boast the latest SiRF Star III GPS chipset and a swiveling antenna that you can adjust for better reception. It's not certain when they will be available but check back soon for updates.
