TomTom is a cool sat nav. I have been using TomTom for a few years now and impressed with the quality of maps and how easy it allows you to navigate right to a particular address. In effort to increase the ease of use the latest TomTom GO 720 and 520 are to offer speech recognition. I am a bit worried about how well this will actually work though. From first hearing about this I wonder if it will be like Transcriber on the PocketPC which works… kind of. Another feature of TomTom GO 720 and 520 which looks to be very useful is the TomTom Map Share feature which allows updates to be made to maps by users. If a new road is built then it can be added to the map and then shared with everyone else so that no new maps are needed. POI can also be shared through this system.

Bluetooth is built in allowing you to use it as a hands free kit for your mobile phone allowing you to safely take calls while driving.

This Acer Pocke PC was spotted recently. It is Ferrari branded and believed to be a c500 model. If this is the correct model then it will run Windows Mobile 5, have a 2.8 inch QVGA screen which is touchscreen. The processor is a 300MHz Samsung. On the connectivity side it can connect via Bluetooth, Wifi and it has GPS built in. This is not a bad little package from Acer.

No other details are available at the moment, but I do believe that details over the next week or 2 should start flowing in. When they do I will post more.

Yesterday, adverts started appearing in the US showing the release date of the iPhone which is set to be the 29th June 2007. There are 3 more adverts after the jump. Will you be getting an iPhone or is it too expensive for you? When it comes out in the UK some time I do hope that it will be cheaper, but I am not counting on it yet.

A Patent by Sony Ericsson was filed which credits the rumours of a PSP phone which have been floating around recently. As can be seen in the above patent, the screen can rotate around to be used portrait or landscape. Indications of being able to pause a game to take a call are also mentioned. The screen does look quite large and the phone looks to be a fairly acceptable size although it is hard to tell for sure on the line drawings. Apart from what you see above, there isnt much information. Details of key positions is not clearly showed.
