Recent reports say that Dell is preparing to replace the D830 and the D630 with a new series of Latitude E laptops. The new models are E6500 with a 15.4 inch display and the E6400, a 14.1 incher. The leaked laptops are scheduled for release in June and it’s also said that these lappies will be the first to make use of Montevina / Centrino 2 machines. The 6500 is supposed to feature integrated GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, mobile broadband, UWP, LED back-lighting, 84WHr batteries and some multiple options for the disk drives.

Good news for gamers - now, PSP supports GPS navigation software. Hopefully you will not get lost, but if the GPS software fails, you can play until somebody gives you the right directions. The PSP GPS was unveiled at the Game Developers Conference, in California. Cool addition but we expect to see more from them, we refer to Internet navigation.

The sales of the Mio C620 and C620t has been announced in Europe, but we don’t have any information of the price or the availability for America. What makes the C620-series different from other GPS devices is the preloaded landmarks which gives you a 3D experience. The 4.3-inch display can be used in split screen mode so you could see all the turns you have to make to the destination. The Mio C620 and C620t also feature speed camera alerts and traffic alerts. With this devices we’re sore that we can always find the best way of reaching the destination.

The Americans aren’t likely to be delighted by the new trio of Compasseo navigators from Packard Bell, but unlike them, the others could find the navigators very useful. The 780 T+ features a 400MHz CPU, 2GB of SDRAM, 4.3 inch LCD, NAVTEQ maps covering all western Europe, speed camera alerts, TrafficLive Plus, built-in media player, MMC / SD expansion slot and a SiRFstarIII GPS chipset. The 750 T+ includes just maps for UK and Ireland and 256MB of SDRAM, while the 750 doesn’t have live traffic support. We expect the price to be at around £129.99, but nothing is sure.

The TomTom GO 720 is a pretty interesting GPS navigation helper that can give you access to up-to-date maps and safety information in case of emergencies. It offers text to speech functionality, has multimedia capabilities and includes Bluetooth. The problem is that it is only compatible with a small number of Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and there is no external volume control. On the whole the Go 720 offers good performance and some features that are useful, including map sharing and an included safety tool.

Portable Navigation systems are very common these days and they all have much or less the same features. These devices even tend to start looking the same and more or less are in the same price range. There is a need for innovation in this department and the TomTom Go 720 comes to do just that. It comes with a Map Share tool that can let you get constant map updates so that your maps offer accurate information and the new option named Help Me aids in case of emergency. This device costs around $500 and can be a very good option for your car.

Talking about design we can say that TomTom Go 720 looks good. It has a lot more features than TomTom One but still keeps a slim profile and is even lighter. Its size is just 4.6X3.2X0.9 inches and weighs 7.7 ounces. You can not have problems transporting such a small device. Color-wise the GPS comes in a black, silver and charcoal gray color scheme. We can easily see a 4.3 inch antiglare touch screen that supports a WQVGA resolution of 480X272 pixels. It is easy to read the screen and only slight problems can appear in bright sunlight. If this happens you can always tinker with the Preferences menu to change map colors and turn on night mode. The virtual keyboard is very good but comes in alphabetical order instead of the more popular QWERTY format. (more…)
