Sony's GPS turns driving into a video game!
![]() The units measure 8 x 4 x 1.9 inches (204 x 104 x 49 mm), and weigh 25.4 ounces (720 grams). They are based on a MIPS-based processor of some kind, and boot a distribution based mainly on MontaVista Hard-Hat Linux (HHL) from a cramfs filesystem on Flash memory. They include a 6.5-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) touchscreen LCD display running at WVGA (800 x 480) resolution. More info can be found here. The Linux Source-Code is already available. Prices range: $1400 - 1900 I guess the next big thing we are waiting for is a HUD display with the buildings perfectly matching what you see outside... ![]() |

Wired Magazine now also runs a story on Sony's new GPS, which looks like a handheld console version of Grand Theft Auto: http://wired.com/news/autotech/0,2554,63842,00.html
According to the article, it is not expected that the XYZ hits the American (or the European) market any time soon. |
