Sony NV-U81T finally coming to U.S.?
Published on April 4th, 2007 in gps navigation, sony
Back in September 2006 we talked about Sony’s announcement of NV-U81T for the U.S. market but it never actually saw light of day until last month; this time in Japan under a different name, called NV-U1. However there’s still some chance U.S. may meet the hard disk based NV-U81T. Or why would they get an FCC approval for?
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.
