GPS for Treo 600


Seidio came out with a GPS car kit for Tree 600 powered by the Seidio SGR-300 Wired Receiver. It totally sucks that the cool Treo 600 still doesn't have bluetooth capability even after there was a $5837 bounty to develop a bluetooth driver. Ah well you will have to upgrade to the costlier Treo 650 to use those bluetooth GPS receivers.

India, are you ready for this?

By now its old news that the Garmin iQue3600 was launched in India. GPS India must have come out with their own version of the maps to support the new PDA/GPS. They never got back (as expected) when I inquired about the map availability. Another device that caught my attention was the NavTalk GSM. It looks like one of those old clunky cell phones, but its infact a GPS with cell phone capability. This one never got launched in US since GSM standard was never popular here. But now that most of the carriers provide GSM support I wonder if this product has a new market. Color screen, blue tooth and a smaller form factor would be a big plus. Do we have such phones already?
