Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX navigation system

Pocket LOOX N110

Pocket LOOX navigation systems were powered by Navigon MobileNavigator|6s.^[12] There were 9 maps supplied with device, covering 37 European countries. Main difference between N100 and N110 is that N100 did not have any built-in user accessible memory, but came with 1 GB Mini SD card. N110 on the other hand had 2 GB built-in memory and a free Mini SD expansion slot.

Model	RAM (MiB)	ROM	Slots	CPU	OS	Screen resolution
Pocket LOOX N100	64	N/A	1 Mini SD	Samsung 300 MHz	Windows CE 5.0	320×240
Pocket LOOX N110	64	2GB	1 Mini SD	Samsung 300 MHz	Windows CE 5.0	320×240

Alternative operating systems

It is possible to run Linux on Pocket LOOX 600.^[13] The latest supported version of Linux kernel is 2.4.19. Linux is loaded from a CF card, allowing a return to PocketPC 2002. But during restart, all contents of RAM are erased. To prevent data loss, users should back-up RAM before restarting Linux.

Work is being done to port Android to Pocket Loox 720.^[14] A port of Android 2.2 is running on the 720. It is possible to boot from either CF or SD cards; as mentioned above, a backup of all data is highly recommended.
