Garmin Palm Device With GPS

Posted by timothy on from the useful-convergence dept.

Moritz writes "Garmin is introducing a PalmOS5 handheld with GPS, MP3 and 32MB of memory. That's very nice, but why is there no bluetooth? Why can't somebody just get the spec right? Other than that this seems to be a nice addition to the PalmOS lineup."

    how much material does it actually take to produce a pda? I dought more then 10 bucks. So 577 bucks for the design and manufactoring per pda doesn't that seem like alot?

    Selling software wont make you money, selling a service will.

    Actually a pretty interesting story. Now for the next question - how long before the other side gets the idea of making a "suitcase bomb" version and sticking it in an urban area?

    Shouldn't be too hard - you don't have to worry about size, transportability, or even power source (tap into the local grid).

    Oops - now when you try to re-submit the article, the Department of Homeland Defense (or whatever) is going to come knocking on your door.
