HP to Release the iPaq rx1950 Navigator Solution
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"Simple 3-step installation – just plug in the power supply, insert the navigation SD card and go. A user-friendly interface design allows quick access to all key functions via the main menu touch-screen. Integrated Wi-Fi (802.11b) for high-speed wireless access to the Internet and e-mail. Compact, portable and stylish design (including CarCradle with loudspeaker) is not restricted to your own vehicle and is easily transportable between cars. ViaMichelin’s experience, up-to-date maps, quality GPS information and hardware mean users will always be in control of their journey and aware of many points of interest along the way."
There is no word yet on whether or not this will be available anywhere outside of Europe or if anyone will be even able to buy the GPS cradle separately as an add-on unit. I believe HP would be making a mistake if they were only planning on selling this as a bundle; I could easily imagine there being greater interest in the cradle (as an individual add-on solution) from current rx1950 owners than there would be for the entire bundle from non-owners. What do you guys think?
