Mio Leap K1 live pics

Published on September 4th, 2008 in gps navigation, mio, phones


Mio Leap K1 we talked about back in June appeared on a Chinese site with lots of live pics. To recap, the most important feature of this device is that it uses both sides of the hardware. One side of the Mio Leap K1 is designed as a regular mobile handset while the other side is a full pledged GPS navigation system.

mio knight rider GPS is almost here

Published on August 12th, 2008 in gps navigation, mio


Mio Knight Rider is already available for pre-order on multiple sites. It seems like Amazon and RadioShack will offer the highly anticipated navigation system for $270 while Sears will try to sell it for $290.

This new GPS navigation system will greet you with “hello michael” or your own name if you are lucky enough to have one of those 300+ names pre-installed on the device with the voice of K.I.T.T. And in case you’re wondering those LED’s on each side not only sweep just like the real thing but also sync to voice commands to make your experience even more complete.

Brilliant!

Published on June 27th, 2008 in gps navigation, mio


Mio Moov 380 which we announced beginning of this month apparently just cleared FCC regulations meaning it will be hitting the store shelves in the U.S. pretty soon.

The main feature of Moov 380 is that it provides two way connectivity (just like Dash) with its integrated SIM card.

  • Resolution: 480 x 242 Pixels (WQVGA)
  • GPS Chipset: SiRFstarIII

PND camera from Mio

Published on June 3rd, 2008 in gps navigation, mio

Mio Technology will be introducing a few new products at the Computex trade show in Taiwan tomorrow. One of these will be the PND camera - a new product concept blending a Personal Navigation Device (PND) with a digital camera.

The “PND camera” will feature a 3.5″ touch screen, a GPS receiver and a digital camera. Little is known about this device so far. All we have is the image above - but we sure hope it features navigation as well since they probably would like to extend the NavPix line they acquired from Navman.

We’ll have to wait and see how well Mio does integrating a fully-featured digital camera with a GPS navigation device… read »
