Mio Knight Rider GPS

Mio has been flaunting the new Knight Rider GPS for a few weeks now, building all kinds of anticipation in the portable GPS market. While we’ve seen it and know what it can do, we really want to know now when we can have it and how much it’ll cost. Mio’s made it official now, announcing the Knight Rider’s availability in consumer electronics chains in North America later in the 3rd quarter (we’ve heard August 8), tagged with an MSRP of US$269.95.

The Mio Knight Rider GPS is unique in that it’s an entertainment-branded PND. Mio partnered with Universal Studios to become a Knight Rider licensee, and Navtones to bring the voice of KITT to the unit’s voice guidance and turn-by-turn directions. For more specs and other juicy details, check out the press release after the jump.

Mio Moov 380 Connected PND Gets Launched; Coming To US By End Of 2008?

by Justin

Mio Moov 380

Mio’s Moov 380 has officially passed through the FCC so it’s a reasonable assumption to believe we should see it in the US by the holiday shopping season. The company’s “lightest connected PND on the market”, the Moov 380 has a built-in SIM card and GPRS connectivity allowing you to make phone calls with the GPS device and also search the web for local points of interest. With the built-in cellular functionality, you don’t have to worry about sometimes troublesome Bluetooth synchronization and the expected Qualcomm service should feature a flat-rate data plan and both 2.75G and 3G support. The Moov 380 features a SiRFInstantFixII chip that improves the satellite fix times and workability in urban trouble spots compared to previous generation chipsets, a superslim and minimalistic design to enhance portability, intelligent route planning and MioMore Desktop which allows you to keep your Moov 380 up-to-date with the latest POI’s and maps just by connecting to a PC. The 4.3 inch TFT touchscreen connected device runs on Windows CE .NET 5 and includes preloaded MioMap 2008 software. Look for it to hit shelves sometime later this year.
