Magellan is opening up the maps and navigation side of its Triton line to a company called Primordial. Primordial has received a lot of funding from the U.S. Army for its off-road navigation maps and methods.

I could go on about how similar to the iPhone this phone is, but I won’t, I’ll simply summarize it by saying that I have an iPod Touch, and I love it, but I think this Garmin Nuvifone would more than fill the smartphone void in my digital life. It has a proprietary Garmin OS, [...]
So you put a couple of AA lithium batteries thing and then you start hiking and the folks back home can follow your trip up Mount Everest. There are 4 buttons on this little bugger, Help, ON/OFF, OK/Check, and 911.
No, really, it looks cool, as in the screen is nice and bright and is sporting an 800×480 resolution, but the software sucks. It also has a 600MHz dual-core processor, in a freakin GPS unit, who would have thunk it.
Bluetooth and GPS, these are words I can’t go two hours without hearing. The GR-312 seems like the only logical next step in gadgetry, a combined receiver that’s on-the-go capable. Lucky we have people like NaviSys.
It also brings you a bit of MacBook Pro style to your car with its brushed aluminum surfaces. The new version of software apparently features voice synthesis and voice recognition for receiving instructions, from you, via voice commands.
Sadly it won’t be unveiled until the DistribuTECH 2008 conference in March, but we still have some specs for you. It will have an Intel Stealy processor with 512KB L2 cache and 800MHz clock speed.
Check out this new phone from Sony Ericsson, it’s a simple candy-bar form factor, but it has a 5MP camera and GPS and a nice display. The camera has a flash and auto-focus features, but sadly no optical zoom.
In order, there is the G910, G710, and G450. Sure, the 910 and 710 have keyboards which clearly mean they are smartphones, and thus interesting, but I kind of like the 450 the most out of all of them.
Sure, you could have easily crossed the border and bought one, but now you can keep your ugly Canadian money in the barren cold up north. All jokes aside, it is for sale in Canada now, which I assume means that the GPS maps will work in Canada as that is the only hurdle that [...]
