A new UMPC from Jensen/Audiovox was introduced yesterday called NVX3000PC. This portable computer has a 7 inch screen and runs Windows XP, includes Wi-Fi, and of course integrates a GPS receiver. It also has bluetooth connectivity, SD card slot and a 30GB HDD. For $1500 you can take NVX3000PC home and use it in your car as a GPS navigation system if you have no other use for it… via

I just received this from Fry’s.com for 1,000. I was excited to get this today, but had a feeling I wouldn’t like it because of the lack of reviews. This thing has been out for a long time and no one seems to buy it. I can see why. NO computer should come with only 256 in RAM. This thing bogs down when running multiple applications. The navigation software is cheezy and the speaker quality is like something from the 70’s. I do like that it tells you the street name for an upcoming turn. Very cool indeed. With in the first hour it froze and I got the blue screen of death. Jensen doesn’t seem too excited about supporting this device. I wrote them 3 different times with software concerns and no one ever got back to me. Jensen doesn’t even provide a copy of it’s preloaded software. It’s not even available for download on their site. If the system crashes and you need to reinstall Jensen’s software… well, you’re out of luck!
Stay away from this PC. It’s not even worth 500 dollars.
This piece is a ‘piece’. Don’t buy it and their customer support sucks!
