What you see above is a portable media player integrated with a GPS navigation system from the Chinese company CDT.
Nothing out of the ordinary here except the external plastics which is made to look a little more rugged. The details are still unknown and will probably remain that way until a Western distributor decides to pick this unnamed device up.
All we can say at this point is that it features a 3″ LCD touch screen, and a 2 GB built-in flash memory…

Talk about a radically different GPS navigation system with portable media player capabilities - the CDT GPS PMP (so many Three Letter Acronyms!) amazingly retails for just $102. It features a 3' touch screen display and does the whole gamut of audio and video formats. Interesting to note the hand grips located at the side though, does this mean you're getting this for a fast driver since you'll be holding onto the CDT GPS PMP for dear life while giving directions to your destination?
DeLorme just announced Earthmate PN-40, their latest handheld GPS device which boasts a speedy dual core processor, a new GPS receiver chipset, and spacious 500MB internal flash memory which can be extended upto 32GB thanks to the SDHC card support.
Expected to hit the market as early as fall of this year Eartmate PN-40 really focused on delivering high speed map redraws…
As an example, I’ve been driving with high resolution color aerial imagery displayed on my device and have been tracking at a scale of 80 ft (very high detail) and haven’t noticed any lag time in map redraws… and that was traveling over 40 mph. While the color aerial imagery was impressive on the PN-20, I was never satisfied with the redraw time for imagery when traveling much faster than an average bike ride.
Here are the rest of the features:
- Super high-sensitivity 32-channel Cartesio chipset by STMicroelectronics delivers near-instantaneous signal acquisition and ConstantLock™ satellite retention
- Dual-core processor for rapid screen re-draws, even with large aerial imagery files
- 500 MB of onboard Flash memory (1 GB total hard drive)
- 3-axis electronic compass with included accelerometer performs when held in any position—while in motion or standing still
- Sensitive barometric altimeter for reliably accurate altitude readings
- Supports SDHC high-capacity SD cards—32 GB or higher
- USB 2.0 data transfer to internal memory or SD card in device
- More detailed onboard base map data for the U.S., now with secondary and connector roads (along with major highways and thoroughfares for the entire world)
- 2.2″ 65K-color daylight-readable TFT screen for clarity in any light conditions
- Topo USA 7.0 software with complete U.S topo and street maps included—no extra purchase required. Also displays USGS 7.5-min quads, aerial imagery, and NOAA nautical charts via online download from DeLorme

Digitalcube i-station U7 GPS is wise to the art of ECO driving
Given today’s gas prices (and the likelihood that tomorrow’s gas prices won’t be any happier), many drivers are considering replacing their cars with more economical models. Of course, there are other ways to save gas, perhaps the simplest being to change your driving style. A leaden right foot will see you burning money as well as rubber. Digitalcube have just announced their latest GPS device, the i-station U7, which aims to instruct you in the finer arts of frugal driving while taking you the shortest route to your destination.
The U7 uses its knowledge of the most economical roads to drive on - including using a tilt-sensitive GPS receiver to track hills, which obviously require more grunt to get up - as well as a built-in knowledge of the ideal driving style to instruct the driver on how best to proceed. There’s a 7-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen to tell you, as well as a blue/red LED that changes according to whether you’re going sensibly or not.
Since this is a Digitalcube product, there’s plenty to do en-route. Media playback - both audio and video - is obviously there, together with DMB digital TV. The D7 uses the ‘MAPPY UNITED’ sat-nav software, which I have to say isn’t something I’ve come across before, but it does include traffic information.
Packed wit 4GB of onboard memory, and with a very slim chassis indeed, the Digitalcube i-station U7 will go on sale in Korea in a little less than a month, priced at 398,000KRW ($382).

Motorola annouces the GPS enabled MING A1600, A1800
The MING A1600 phone has been circulating in rumors previously, and a little over a month ago, it was approved by the FCC. Also, Motorola has announced the MING A1800, which is set to accompany the A1600. The A1800 is pretty much the same as the A1600, however the main difference is that it comes with a one key difference - it can connect to both GSM and CDMA networks simultaneously.
To recap, the Motorola MING A1600 comes with a 2.4-inch TFT touchscreen display, comes with a stylus, runs on Linux, has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support, a 3-megapixel camera with auto focus, Bluetooth, microSD expansion up to 4GB, microUSB connectivity, an integrated FM radio and of course one of the more notable features, integrated GPS.
As previously mentioned, the MING A1800 offers the same features as the A1600, and also allows for GSM and CDMA to be used at the same time. No word on exact pricing or availability, but the A1800 shouldn’t cost too much more than the A1600, and both of these phones are set to first hit the Chinese market.

Mio Moov 380 which we announced beginning of this month apparently just cleared FCC regulations meaning it will be hitting the store shelves in the U.S. pretty soon.
The main feature of Moov 380 is that it provides two way connectivity (just like Dash) with its integrated SIM card. However unlike Dash we don’t how Mio plans on providing GPS vitals such as real time traffic information or connect to the internet for that matter. Other unknowns include price, carrier, monthly fee, etc, etc.
