Here’s a new feature that’s now more or less confirmed in the new iPhone, a magnetometer and built-in compass. I’ve seen this feature in some Nokia phones already, and the inclusion of this feature into the new iPhone will undoubtedly raise its overall value making it even more appealing for those who love to rough [...]

One can’t deny the ubiquity of the iPhone design nowadays. The Hualu UCG501 is perhaps the first MID to closely adopt that design. Too bad it appears to be lacking automatic orientation. The Hualu UCG501 has 5 inches (800 x 480) of screen space that should be touch controlled but no mention of it, though it [...]

The Garmin-Asus alliance caught some of us off-guard, but if a merger is what’s needed to get a quality product out in the market then we’re certainly not against it. That seems to be the case with the Nuviphone. Now known as the nuvifone G60, it was first announced in early 2008, but it is [...]

I’m not sure Moto should compete with the Apple iPhone at this point in time, but looking at the home screen of the Motorola Evoke QA4, it’s undeniable they want to take a piece of the iPhone market share, specifically that segment that needs navigation features on their phone. The Motorola Evoke QA4 has a [...]

SE hasn’t had an interesting announcement since Xperia, which was more air than substance, and the T707 is not likely to get SE back in a competitive form. That’s probably why they’ve hired Maria Sharapova, a beautiful former tennis star, who like Sony Ericsson has been on top before–though not necessarily in the game of [...]

Doesn’t the bottom right just below the screen say Oil Save? Yes it does and this Korean PMP could save drivers a lotta oil with the built-in GPS. I’m not so sure I like the model name, though iQ500 isn’t exactly a name you’d want to mention especially when smart kids are inside the van. [...]

Mio has announced a GPS phone before, this touchscreen phone with Mitac UI but we never heard of it again. The K70 or Explore seems to be a more earnest announcement. It’s beautiful, too. It doesn’t run Windows CE anymore but Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional and it looks way better than Garmin’s Nuviphone. The specs are [...]

After announcing their new partnership and announcing the nuvifone G60, it looks like Garmin’s got a second wind as far as producing mobile phones are concerned as their new label, Garmin-Asus, has unveiled yet another phone in their nuvifone series, the M20. It’s another Windows Mobile-based touchscreen that comes with a 2.8-inch VGA display, 3-megapixel [...]

We’ve already heard about the Garmin Nuvifone before, and while it has made numerous appearances, it hasn’t quite made it to the market yet. However, that might all change now that Garmin and Asus have joined forces in producing this new line of mobile phones. Garmin will obviously be in-charge of the navigational software while [...]

The new Mio GPS phone will be a touchscreen one. This is yet unnamed and is smaller than the Nuvifone from Garmin and may even come sooner than the bigger iPhone killer. Specs includes Windows CE OS, Mitac’s “Spirit” UI, a 3.2 MP camera and 3.5G connectivity. [via engadget]
