MING A1600 and MING A1800 come with GPS turn-by-turn directions and various multimedia functionalities, while the MING A810 is more an entry-level model with a cool design but rich in productivity features.

"As the next generation of our MING range, the A1600 and A1800 combine Motorola's long heritage in the PDA market with stylish design and innovative technology, delivering a personal productivity experience that has been tailored to the needs of the busy Chinese executive," said Ray Yam, Vice
President and General Manager, Motorola Mobile Devices, China.

All these models feature touch-sensitive input.
