Netac's P210 multifunctional GPS receiver

by Evan Blass posted Jul 17th 2006 at 12:20PM

It's been a few days since we brought you a GPS/PMP device that will never be available for purchase in the States, so here to fill that void is the Netac P210, straight out of China. You probably don't really need a spec run-down on a product so similar to countless others that you've seen before, but that's what they pay us for, so here goes: preloaded with a complete Chinese map (well, maybe not complete- it seems that Taiwan is MIA), the P210 offers a 16.67 million-color, 3.5-inch touchscreen display, an FM transmitter for streaming MP3 tracks to your head unit, support for "millions" of so-called Zuiku games, and eBook functionality in case you'd rather read than rot your brain with movies and music. Pricing has not yet been announced, but as usual with these cookie-cutter units, that's basically a moot point.

Hey, reading's seriously better than watching TV. And I think that at least this way, people won't be distracted while driving.

Also, typo in the article: "and eBook functionality in case YOU'RE rather read than rot your brain with movies and music"

Change it boys. I don't need to tell you what to change it to, do I? :-P

The reason Taiwan isn't their is because it is NOT PART OF CHINA! What communist freak did this write up.

nothing out of ordinary except the FM trasmitter feature. Would be nice to add on Digital Camera and traslator program, and the ability to load North America/Europe maps

Oops, another example of bad geo/world fact education in USA.

Is US Department of State the only place where it is a known fact that Taiwan is not part of China (YET)?

God bless America for its many ignorant people!

*sigh* Everybody critizing the article is making themselves look bad. The reason for the statement is because CHINA considers Taiwan to be a part of their country. They do not recongize it as an independant state. So take all of your "Americans are sooo stupid, hawhawhaw!" jokes and apply them to something apt (sadly, you won't have to look far on the internet =p).

Sarcasm is lost on the witless. Don't worry Evan, some of us got it.
