AT&T Launching Location-Centric Garmin Nuvifone
,----[ Quote ]
| The smartphone integrates location-based services
| into multiple aspects of the proprietary Linux-
| based operating system, and it will come with the
| same turn-by-turn navigation features found in
| Garmin's high-end navigation units. This includes
| audible voice prompts for directions, as well as
| millions of points of interest like restaurants,
| gas stations, hotels, and other venues. Users can
| also mount it to the windshield to act like a
| regular navigation device.

Garmin Takes a New Tack With Linux-Based Nav Phone
,----[ Quote ]
| Is there a market for a $300 proprietary Linux-
| based navigation device with phone capabilities?
| Garmin's Nuvifone will put that question to the
| test. Known for its navigators, Garmin might be
| following Palm's playbook by adding phone
| capabilities. Given the popularity of the iPhone,
| the advance of the Androids, Palm's struggle to
| push the Pre -- can the Nuvifone find a niche?
