I’ve been hearing about Mio Digiwalker Lovebird GPS PDA phone since it scooped If Design China award.

But except for a nice name, category (GPS/PDA) and pretty skimpy description of “simple geometric contours, unique chrome bezel, battery cover made from aluminum with fine hairline texture”, not much was known about Mio Digiwalker Lovebird.

No specs, no pictures and no shipping dates for this Lovebird GPS PDA phone were available.

Well, I still don’t know anything much about the specs, except that it will have GPS sensor, (probably) 3 megapixel camera and a big touchscreen.

Oh, and that it looks really good. Good enough to also scoop the main IF Product Design Award for 2008.

Here’s what Mitac themselves had to say about Mio Lovebird GPS/PDA phone:

The Mio DigiWalker Lovebird is an ultra-slim bar type GPS/PDA phone designed for consumers who want all-in-one capabilities for their travels. It is also a communications device functioning as a mobile phone which is targeted for professionals. Lovebird’s simple geometry contours and the unique chrome electroplate front cover expresses the luxurious image. The rear battery cover is made of aluminum with fine hair line, which adds a noble statement to the product. With it’s “Flat Touch panel�, it provides user a more comfortable usage, easier to read information, and also serves a strong design differentiator.

Sounds good, Mio.

Now how about some tech specs and availability dates for your Lovebird GPS/PDA?
