Mio is preparing to launch a new pair of Moov S series GPS devices-the Moov S401 and Moov S501-according to an image leaked to Engadget.
The Moov S401 will have a 4.3-inch display and 4 million points of interest, while the Moov S501 has a larger 4.7-inch display and 12 million points of interest. Both Moov GPS devices feature Mio’s new Spirit user interface, announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, and integrate real-time traffic, Google Send to GPS, and gas price searching.
According to Engadget’s tipster, both devices are set to be released in the United States mid-May-the S401 for $129 and the S501 for $169. In fact, a look at Mio’s website seems to indicate that the entire S family, including those announced in January, will ship worldwide on May 12.
Earlier this year it was reported Mio was leaving the American GPS market behind, but despite recently laying off 60 percent of its workforce recently, Mio looks intent on remaining in the US.
