It looks like LG is poised to muscle its way into yet another product category -- in Europe, at least -- with the new LN710 in-car navigation system. Running on Windows Mobile CE.Net 5.0, the SiRF Star III-powered model features a 300MHz processor, 4-inch, 320 x 240 pixel display, 64MB RAM / 32MB ROM, and an SD slot for loading up maps from the included CDs -- not too bad, but nothing that Garmin, TomTom, and friends will lose any sleep over. It's not exactly clear who's getting this model or when they'll be getting it, but we did see it on a German website for about $467 (including a 1GB card; packages with 256MB, 512MB, or 2GB cards will also be available), so that should give you some idea of the pricing structure.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | CommentsFiled under: GPS, Portable Audio, Portable Video, Transportation
You know, it's still hard to get used to a new Polaroid product doing anything other than snapping pics. Well those are days are long gone, so blot your eyes old timers and check the new MGX-0550 -- Polaroid's new Sirf Star III, WAAS-enabled, 12-channel GPS and DVD/CD playin' combo device. That 5.6-inch touch-screen delivers your choice of kid squelching vids or the most relevant of the pre-loaded maps covering the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. And yeah, the MGX-0550 will interrupt your media fix to provide the latest navigation instructions through your car stereo system via built-in FM transmitter. When you arrive, be sure to drag the MGX-0550 along since DVDs will play for another 3 hours off rechargeable battery. No pricing or availably yet, but then again, how much do you care?
