Navman Europe is announcing the launch of the new Navman PiN 570. This fully-fledged global positioning systems (GPS) navigation solution . . . comes in a stylish tungsten and graphite casing. Its compact form has the GPS receiver discreetly tucked away at the rear - just flip the module skywards and let the PiN 570 guide you. The PiN 570 is supplied with an SD memory card with pre-installed maps of the UK, a sturdy windscreen mount, 12V vehicle power cable and protective carry case."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/570.jpg" /> <br /><br />This new Pocket PC is clearly designed primarily for GPS usage and the styling and grey colour scheme should fit right in with most car's dashboards. ;-) The OS listed is Windows Mobile 2003 (not 2003SE) running on a 266Mhz Samsung CPU, with 64Mb RAM (no word on ROM), a SD/MMC slot and a 3.5 inch QVGA screen. The best part is the inclusion of Navman's new SmartST 2005 software. The PiN 570 will cost around £349 (€499) and should be available for sale at the beginning of May 2005. The specification seems a bit ho-hum at first, but it helps if you think of this device as a reasonably priced all-in-one GPS unit with added Windows Mobile goodness.
