Couple of days ago we mentioned that nuviphone would cost $300 and be offered by AT&T. Well we were correct. The news is now official. Finally. It is here. Nuviphone is here!!!
AT&T Garmin announced the Garmin nüvifone G60 will be available beginning October 4.
Garmin’s president and COO Cliff Pemble said:
The nüvifone has Garmin’s easy-to-use interface, so navigating to a meeting directly from its calendar or contacts pages, or geotagging an email or photograph with a location stamp, is intuitive, useful and fun.
nuviphone G60 will be as functional as a high end Garmin nuvi, and will come with necessary hardware to be used in your car. The maps of nuviphone are locally stored which means you can still get directions in the middle of nowhere where there’s no AT&T. However if you’re somewhere near a cell tower it is almost guaranteed you’ll get a satellite fix sooner because the G60 utilizes A-GPS.
Other features of nuviphone include full web browsing via AT&T’s 3G network, or good old WiFi. There are connected services of course which include access to real-time traffic information, fuel prices, White Pages, weather and more. You’ve got a 3.2MP too which can automatically geotag your shots.
nuvifone G60 will cost $300 with a two year contract after a $100 mail-in-rebate. Nuvifone Premium Connected Services which includes traffic updates, white pages, weather, movie, local events and fuel price content are available for $6/month after a 30-day trial. This is on top of the data charges you’ll have to pay AT&T. What’s up with that….

iPhone GPS apps comparison part II
Sep 29, 2009 copilot, gps navigation, gps phones, gps reviews, gps software, iphone, sygic, telenav
A couple of months ago Gizmodo did a comparison of different GPS navigation applications for the iPhone. They now have a part II for that. This time they’re covering more of the “second tier” applications – just because they’re a bit cheaper, and not as well advertised. Anyhow – we have all the iPhone GPS navigation apps listed here.
The GPS navigation apps reviewed are CoPilot Live from ALK, Gokivo GPS Navigator from NIM, and Sygic.

TomTom XL 340S Live
Sep 29, 2009 google, gps navigation, tomtom
TomTom just announced TomTom XL 340S Live. This is a mid-range GPS navigation system from the company with connected services. It will go for $300 which will include 3 months live connected services which we just mentioned. These include things like local search from Google, real-time traffic updates, weather information, and the cheapest fuel prices around.
TomTom XL 340S Live has a 4.3″ touch screen and is quite similar to the TomTom XL 740 Live. However it lacks bluetooth connectivity for hands free calling – and the live services are on AT&T’s network.
Another cool feature with this new GPS navigation system is that it uses TomTom QuickGPSfix which utilizes A-GPS to get a satellite location fix faster.
The connected services for TomTom XL 340S Live will cost $10/month after the first month.

Their short press release does not contain any other information and does not even mention iPod touch compatibility issues.

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.

Galaxy Lite i5700 will come in white or black colors and have a 3″ screen. 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. You’ve also got 200MG of memory, and the screen resolution of 320×480 pixels…
