Killing me with GPS+Karaoke+TV

Korea’s iNavi G1 is a GPS, PMP, Karaoke, etc.28 06 2007
Korea’s iNavi G1 has the kind of specs that would make you shake your head thinking you can never afford this device for your car, and you might be right.

The iNavi G1 has a GPS with 3D rendering, which is cool enough if you’ve seen one, but when you find out that this one renders landscapes with stars in the background you might just be forgiven for saying you Give up. Navigation on the G1 gets some help from a geometric sensor (g-sensor) in places where GPS is weak as in big cities with dense buildings. For TV, you use Korean DMB.

As a PMP, the G1 is compatible with AVI, ASF, WMV, MPG, MPEG,MP3, AC3, WMA, and OGG. It’s equipped with an SD slot for memory extension and USB. The G1 also has an image viewer with a photo album function and game emulator. The karaoke feature is the one feature that a minivan full of family members will truly enjoy. There’s no price yet announced, but it’s sure to beyond the means of practical individuals. But, hey, for quality time with the family on the road, nothing beats it.
