| upload their applications along with consumer pricing. Paid applications will
| go on sale in the U.S. starting in the middle of next week and in additional
| countries in the coming months, Google's Eric Chu wrote in a blog post

Garmin nüvi 255W
,----[ Quote ]
| I first started looking at the Archos 605 GPS and media player hoping to get
| a multi-use device thought after reading the reviews especially Gizmodo’s and
| looking at the price tag ($279.99 for the device, $140 for the GPS add-on,
| $95 for the car mount, and $20 for the car charger) I decided I should look
| at the GPS units from TomTom and Garmin.
