Garmin GPS Nuvi 350 Series Report

Garmin really does dominate the GPS business these days.  Looking at the Google search statistics for it versus it’s competition shows that it has nearly 10 times the search volume of competitors TomTom and Magellan.  I knew they were popular, but really 10x? That’s a powerful brand.

Amazon Kindle 2 Reader

Check out thes hot new pictures of the AmazonKindle 2 Reader.  Just leaked pictures show the product to be announced (reportedly) on Feb-9.

Amazon has upgraded the Kindle 2 Reader with a thinner, lighter design, metal back plate and quite ipod style design cues.  It even comes with stereo audio and headphone jacks.

It’s EV-DO wireless equipped & 2gb memory.  It looks like a form factor upgrade more than a core technology upgrade.  That’s good, becuase I found the original Amazon Kindle reader too bulky, boxy and more than a little retro. Read the full story

New Garmin 775T GPS Map Navigator joins the already successful Garmin 750/760GPS family as the new high end model. The new 775T GPS includes mapping, routing and communication features that set it apart and above it’s siblings.

In addition to traditional map functions it can even transmit via FM radio, audio books, music and voice prompts. Add bluetooth and you’ve got your car and your telephone fully integrated.

In addition to a newly updatedGPS satellite receiver, you get “Lane Guidance” which functions as a preview of optimum lanes of travel based on future connections. With the ability to display virtual roadsigns over a nearly photo realistic view of the highway, you’ll never ask for directions again. Read the full story

I’ve got a great little (is it little any more - guess not!) Creative Zen Ipod Competitor and recently I managed to drop it just one more time. This time I dropped it on a nice hard tile floor.

I got bad sectors on the disk and the audio kept skipping and stopping. Sometimes the player will just lock up and die. Read the full story
