GPS Devices & iPod Docks

Seems like GPS devices are the rage these days. Sony has two more GPS units to help out the geographically challenged.

The Sony NV-U82 and NV-U92T both have a 4.8-inch 16:9 LCD touchscreen and it supports Gesture Commands for even greater safety at the wheel. Just sketch a simple line or shape on screen with a fingertip and the NV-U82 and NV-U92T will guide you safely and surely to frequent destinations – like ‘home’ or the ‘nearest filling station’.

The Sony Nav-U NV-U82 has 512MB internal memory preloaded with individual country maps and the NV-U92T has 2GB memory for international maps. They have also Memory Stick card slot.

In other news, Gadget Lab posted a review of the Philips DCP750 Docking Entertainment System. If you’re tired of squinting to watch movies on your iPod, this just might interest you. The good: Simply designed and easy to use. Display swivels 180 degrees and lies flat for tablet-style viewing. Includes remote, car adapter and video out. Charges iPod and player simultaneously. Plays video from SD/MMC cards, burned DVDs. and CDs. Reads DivX, MP3, and image files.

The bad: Low-resolution iPod videos appear washed out, while high-resolution DVD video can be pixilated. Speakers sound muffled and buzz at higher volumes. Takes 7 to 8 hours to charge battery.
