Sony Ericsson’s Got A New GPS-Enabled GPS Modem-The MD400g
If you’re looking for a new USB modem with GPS and 3G data capabilities, Sony Ericsson’s new MD400g may be the gadget you’re looking for. Along with its sister MD400 (which doesn’t have GPS), the MD400g supports 3G data up to 7.2 Mbps over pretty much any HSDPA network including those in North America. Both modems come with a hybrid Memory Stick Micro and microSD slot for storing and transfering data between modem and cellular phone. A GPS utility comes with the MD400g that works with Google Maps for live positioning and both modems work with both Mac OS X and Windows operating system, sometimes even enabling autoinstallation and autoconfiguring to work with the appropriate network. Available in black or white, the Sony Ericsson MD400g and MD400 USB modems will be available in Q3 around the world. So far Sony hasn’t come out with any info regarding carrier availability or prices in the United States.

Sony Ericsson P5i Paris Phone With GPS Pics
Unwired View has got their paws on some live pics of the Sony Ericsson P5i Paris phone with integrated GPS. The embedded navigation feature is most likely a AGPS chip like the one used by Nokia’s N95. Slim and to tell you the truth, kind of ugly, the P5i Paris phone features a 2.8-inch touchscreen, HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, Wi-fi, a 360 Mhz CPU, Symbian 9.3, and a UIQ 3.2 OS. Oh, and a 5 megapixel camera.

Sony Pulls Out Of European GPS Market
Sony will be discontinuing all European GPS models in 2008 and has no plans to offer any new or updated models, though they say they “will not discontinue the GPS business”. With TomTom enjoying a 50% market share in Europe, it’s increasingly difficult for Sony to operate a profitable business in the territory as both development costs and price competition skyrocket.
Sony hasn’t ruled out future product launches in Europe should the proper competitive and market conditions arise.
