Nikon P6000 Flagship Point-and-Shoot: 13.5MP, Built-In GPS Geotagging and Yes, RAW
Nikon's flagship P6000 point-and-shoot is official, and pretty much everything we heard. Besides long-awaited RAW support (not on Macs, sorry), the 13.5-megapixel shooter has built-in GPS geotagging, Nikon's DSLR controls, manual pop-up flash (which is so fun to play with it's almost worth the $500 price of admission by itself) and other pro-ish features for more manual control. The lens is a 4x wide-angle, and it'll do up to ISO 3200 at full resolution, or 6400 at three megapixels. The most oddball feature? An Ethernet jack. So it's like a free trip to 2001 to boot. Here's all the details and another shot.

Yes, that’s a cell phone sitting in few inches of water with a digital compass on its display. Called Casio Boulder, this is the newest addition to the G’zOne rugged phone series. Just like the other G’zOne this one also features integrated GPS receiver and a 1.3MP digital camera.
It will be available from Verizon in August for $130 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a 2 year contract. Here are the other important features of Casio Boulder.
And of course it meets military specifications (810F) for water, shock and dust resistance; immersion; vibration, salt fog; humidity; solar radiation; altitude; and low and high temperature storage…

NEC’s PaPeRo robot has been around since 1997 but recently just made head lines again. Papero is a home robot and its name stands for Partner-type-Personal-Robot. We’re not sure about the details but it sounds like Papero somehow manages to beam itself into your GPS navigation system :)
For example, when a user in house tells the robot that he is ‘going to Yokohama on a date,’ the robot recognizes that person’s voice and uploads the information to the server via wireless LAN, etc. The server performs an arithmetical operation on the uploaded information in consideration of the dialogue history between the robot and the user, the knowledge information inputted to the robot, the season, the time, etc.
Then, information on the best route for the user to go to Yokohama on a date is calculated, and the result is sent to the user’s car navigation system, etc and displayed on the screen. Therefore, the user only has to get in the car and talk to the robot to reach his destination by the best route.
Also, the company added a twist to the car navigation screen by displaying a character resembling PaPeRo on it.
gps navigation on htc touch diamond
GPS navigation software maker ALK just introduced CoPilot LIve 7, an exclusive edition for HTC Touch Diamond.
The software comes on a DVD which automatically transfers and installs maps and software to Touch Diamond. You don’t have to do much as far telling CoPilot how to talk to the GPS receiver since it automatically detects the phone’s built-in GPS receiver.
The display is apparently also modified for Touch Diamond and you can use the wheel to zoom in and out. It is currently out in Europe for £60 for UK and Ireland maps and £90 for maps of all of Europe.
