Sony NV-U81T features a 4.3″ touch screen and has hands-free bluetooth support. It also comes standard with traffic message channel receiver, and a 4GB 1″ hard disk for storage.
Other fancy features Sony integrated into the NV-U81T are gesture commands and position plus.
The position plus makes predictions about the location of the vehicle by listening to its acceleration sensor and a pressure sensor to provide more stable, reliable positioning information, even when GPS signals are degraded or briefly unavailable.
Still no word on pricing or availability.
