Dell to Release Bluetooth GPS Antenna
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "HARDWARE" @ 11:00 PM
Meanwhile, Dell this week announced its first Bluetooth GPS antenna. Based on technology from Navteq, which also provides the maps. The navigation software included in the $249 bundle isn't known. Dell already offers a range of GPS bundles centring on its Axim x5, x3 and x30 PocketPC lines, including kit from the likes of TomTom and Pharos. However, this is the first time the company has offered own-brand GPS peripherals in the package.
The Dell empire continues to expand apace I see. Now Dell owners can track exactly where they are in it. :wink: It will be interesting to see the bundles Dell will be offering with this. So, I wonder when this can be paired with a nice new VGA PPC from Dell. :)
Update: PDA Buyer's Guide have published an in-depth review of the Dell Bluetooth GPS package, here. Bottom line? They like it (more or less :wink: ).
