Honestly speaking I didn’t see this one coming, but I dig it. See video below then read my thoughts on this: GPS navigation in current phones is good but not great if you catch my meaning. But not nuviphone. This is the phone that will have the same GPS abilities as the StreetPilot and nuvi [...]

The last time I saw Garmin put out a Superbowl commercial it was Maposaurus. To be honest I wasn’t too enthused about it. I understand they were going for something different but it just didn’t work. Superbowl commercials are not about selling products, but rather just having a presence on a huge telecast. As such, [...]

Less than a week after Apple released the 1.1.3 firmware update for the Iphone, it has been jailbreaked, according to a report at Iphone Atlas. The jailbreak method is apparently fairly involved and actually requires some sort of hardware change. Because of the complexity of it, the developers of the hack are not yet releasing [...]

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said in an interview with German media that Microsoft will not launch a product to directly compete with the Apple Iphone. "No, we won’t do that. In the so-called smart phone business we will concentrate solely on software with our Windows Mobile program. We have partnerships with a lot of device [...]

New on the scene: The Sega Mega Drive Portable. The cost is $40 and for that 40 you get a whole lot of entertainment as it comes bundled (and pre-loaded with mind you) several really good licensed games, including Sonic and Knuckles, Altered Beast, Golden Axe and more. But they could have totally skipped Ecco [...]

The guys and gals at Axiotron have done it – it’s a Mac in tablet form called the Modbook. It’s got OS X Leopard and a Wacom integrated pen-sensitive LCD. The price? $2290. This is one of those type of expense-be-damned computers. Yes, it’s dangerously close to the price of a Mac Pro – but [...]

Computer.. (computer makes noises) Main Engineering (Turbolift takes you to Main Engineering) Okay, seriously.. this literally is just like the Turbolift on the USS Enterprise 1701-D. Except it’s in your car. Way cool. I dig the fact it’s available. I dig the fact you have to manually "tell" the nuvi to listen via the small [...]

Garmin has a fairly wide range of sizes for mobile GPS devices. The newest one is the nuvi 5000. This is a big guy; a 5.2-inch touchscreen display. Not only is it big but it also has the highest resolution screen I’ve seen so far from Garmin, that being 800×480. This is actually higher than [...]

Evidently there were more than a few pro-Apple blogs out there that are saying that firmware 1.1.3 simply doesn’t exist, citing the images circling around the internet were absolutely fake, Photoshopped or a "jailbreaked" iPhone. Gizmodo doesn’t think so and links to a video that shows, very plainly, some of the new features in 1.1.3. [...]

Electronic navigation, whether using it via the internet or a GPS receiver, isn’t infallible. I am the biggest navigation fan you’d ever meet, but even I know that you cannot put absolute faith in a system operated by ones and zeroes compared to where the rubber meets the road. Case in point: Google Maps seems [...]

Do you like listening to music loudly on your Ipod? Do you think you should at least be able to do so if you damn well please? Well, apparently Apple is going to be releasing a future version of the Ipod to keep you from doing that. Apple is developing an automated volume control. They [...]

So you’ve had your iPhone for a while but darn it, it just doesn’t feel special anymore because so many people have them now. Not to worry! You can order a special Platinum Edition iPhone. The cost? A measely two grand. Pocket change! But hang on, you’re going to have to get a gold plated [...]
