While typically not a
dominant force in the GPS game,
Sanyo is bringing the goods with its latest navigation units. The NV-SD10DT and NV-M10, dubbed "Mini-Gorillas," are targeting folks who crave a car-based NAV that can join the trek on occasion. Both units sport a 4.5-inch 400 x 234 resolution touchscreen, 1GB SD card loaded with maps and POIs, 1-watt built-in speaker, and a conscience-nagging Echo Drive II system which apparently notifies the driver of how harmful they're being to environment by
quickly accelerating and idling in rush-hour traffic. The real star, however, is the built-in terrestrial TV tuner in the NV-SD10DT; while catching a break on the subway, the GPS unit becomes a portable television on the fly, providing instant entertainment when you've reached your
destination. Both units should hit the Japanese markets later this month, and the NV-M10 will run you ¥78,750 ($669), while the tuner-packed NV-SD10DT demands ¥91,350 ($776).

Well they do have GPS in cell phones, but I can't wait to have a TV in my cell phone too. Heck while there at it the ultimate portable device should contain all of the following:
- Phone
- TV
- Internet
- GPS
- Organizer
- Printer
- Flash Light
- ID
- Hand Warmer
- MP3 Player
- Gaming Platform
- Utencils would be cool but than you gotta clean em
- Lastly a really cool feature would be a webcam inside that phone/mp3 player/gps/psp device. That way you could be high up in the alps and show your friend in Tokyo who's at a strip club!
they already have GPS and TV on cell phones. i have both on my LG VX8300. :) recent technology is already obsolete!
And how exactly does it get a TV signal in the subway?
