Does your phone give you directions? – when you ask it to? (speech recognition) – by telling you (text-to-speech) ? Displaying 3D satellite views, event what your destination looks like (street view)?
Droid Does.

Here is a video of CoPilot and TomTom apps being tested on an HTC HD2 with WinMo.
Looks pretty sleek. However with CoPilot landscape mode isn’t all the efficient for making use of that screen. TomTom does a better job. HTC HD2 is a giant phone by the way…

As you know we talked about Waze a while ago – and if you read that review you might know that our trial didn’t go that well. Well they now have a demo video up and of course it works flawlessly there. Waze provides crowd sourced maps, and traffic information. Of course it provides voice guided GPS navigation too.
Check out the video if you want to know more about Waze.

Maybe you’re not into the Android phones from HTC, maybe it is the chin, maybe something else. We hear you – and we’re happy to present you a new Android phone from Samsung called Galaxy Lite i5700. However you’ll have to until the new year – 2010, that is.

Some of the other specs include WiFi, 3.2MP digital camera with auto focus, microSD card slot, accelerometer, GPS, A-GPS support, bluetooth, and of course 3G connectivity.

Some rumors on the interwebs are suggesting the nuviphone G60 will go for $300 after a two year contract and a $100 mail-in-rebate. That is quite pricey – and straight up it is even worse. Without a contract it will cost $550 – almost worth 2 low end netbooks :) even though we realize that is not a fair comparison.
As you know nuviphone already came out in Asia couple of months ago and we’ve been waiting for the North America launch for a looong time.

HTC likes to call HTC Tattoo as the phone that will bring Android to the masses. Looking at the specs and the price we kinda want to agree with them. Even though the pricing is not yet announced we’re thinking this HTC Tattoo packed with Android goodness will cost somewhere between $200 and $300. We’ll only have to wait 3 more weeks as it will be available in Europe in early October.
You can have a look at the product tour or check out specs for HTC Tattoo:

We hear TomTom GPS navigation app that just came out for the iPhone will be available for the Android platform – even though no release date were mentioned.
During this mini interview with VP for TomTom, Benoit Simery said their app would come out for Android – since HTC is such a solid device but people on S60 and Blackberry would have to wait a little longer.
There was no indication of TomTom working on a hardware platform of their own – and they still think a standalone GPS navigation systems will be with us for years to come.
Oh yeah – we shopped the above image.

ALK Technologies just announced recently that their CoPilot Live GPS navigation system is now available for Android phones. You can already grab it from Android Market for your HTC Magic, HTC Dream or the new HTC Hero – for only $35.
With CoPilot the maps are stored locally on the phone, rather than relying on wireless internet which can be quite slow at times. However there are still some “Live” which utilizes the mobile Internet connection such as real-time traffic alerts, 5-day weather forecast information and a new location sharing service called CoPilot LiveLink.
Here are some features of CoPilot Live for Android:

Verizon just introduced a new smartphone called HTC OZONE. It offers 3G network support, Wi-Fi, and a qwerty keyboard. It comes with a 1500mAh battery which means it will hang in there with you on those long business trips. It even comes with international charging adapters.
HTC Ozone does feature a GPS receiver and lets you use the VZ Navigator which costs $10/month.
