You know, the trend here lately has been for cell phone makers to include GPS capability!  I mean it only makes sense.  But since GPS makers like Garmin are only looking to expand their product line, it really makes sense for them to become a player in the cell phone market as well!  Introducing the Garmin Nuviphone!

As far as specs, I can't tell you a lot right now, other than it will feature a 3.5 touch screen, internet browser, HSDPA support preloaded maps of North America, eastern and western Europe, millions of PIOs, turn by turn spoken directionsand Google local search capability.  Look for availability quarter 3 of this year. 

Don't take my word for it, head on over to Garmin's site and see how good they hype it!

Nice to see Garmin back in aft May C (70.77.12.xxx) 2008-01-31 12:36:00 I was surprised when Garmin started getting out of the handheld business back in the 90s. Okay, at the time, they were quite slow (from what I recall from reading articles, etc) and they kind of weren't great at being a Palm PDA and a GPS device. It's nice to see Garmin come back in the fold. I'm now expecting GPS coming to the cameras (don't laugh, but I think it could work) Reply | Quote 0   0

I agree Duke (75.130.75.xxx) 2008-02-02 03:04:52 I think that maybe Garmin was pushing the envelope just a little with the Palm/GPS units of a few years ago. And by the same token, if they were to do this again, now is the time. I am told that Tom Tom works really well on the HTC TyTN units. Rumors are that the Nuviphone will run Android! I think this Google OS is going to really shake up the mobile world! This is going to be fun! Reply | Quote 0   0
