It may have been pretty quiet from Seamless WiFi since we first saw their S-XGen UMPC back in September 2006, but the company would like us to know that they've not been sitting on their hands all this time.  Apparently Seamless have been "very cautiously" deciding on GPS software for the UMPC - now renamed the S-Gen - and have settled on Garmin's Mobile XT app. Read The Full Story
