Blackbird II Requesting Permission To Land: "
Looks like Alpine is about to release another surprise GPS unit. If you head over to Crutchfield.com you will see a unit dubbed the PMD-B200 Blackbird II. This unit looks to be the successor to the infamously awful PMD-B100 Blackbird, however, the Blackbird II isn’t even listed on Alpine’s website yet.
This new BlackBird II has a 4-inch display with 480 x 272 pixels resolution, sports a 10GB hard drive, Bluetooth technology, NAVTEQ Traffic FM-RDS traffic-info service, 6 million POIs and media player capabilities.
To really tie this product into Alpine’s car audio equipment, you have the option of using the Blackbird in conjunction with an in-dash stereo. One of Alpines multimedia receivers has a docking station for the Blackbird II, so you can access all navigation features through the receiver's 6.5' touchscreen display.
Crutchfield has the Blackbird II listed out of stock and retailing for $699.99 with no sign of a release date. So while we have no clue when this unit will actually be coming out, $700 seems a bit steep for this unit when it does land.
