Autocab recently launched the 'Minos', which I believe is what cabbyman will be trialling at the moment. For what it's worth, and I am in a very good position to know (!!), overall customer reaction to it has been very favourable.
The major exceptions to this have been when their customers have required SIM cards, in which case there have been numerous cases of poor signal/service. Though this is not directly Autocab's fault because it is BT, Vodafone etc. who provide the Airtime, Autocab will have little-to-zero interest in assisting you if you're having system problems upon install, and have already paid up for the equipment or signed up to a finance company.
Therefore if you go for the Autocab system, make sure to withhold some payment/signing up for a finance agreement until you are satisfied that everything is fully up and running, or they will 'f**k you'. The MD is a fan of offering that treatment to his customers, and not just his staff.
Ah ha another PDA based system that does down more times than a pro's knickers.
I wish people would get the idea that PMR is better than PDA.
