HP will be teaming up with ViaMichelin to introduce a new plug-and-drive satellite navigation system. This system will use the iPAQ rx1950, cradle and ViaMichelin's GPS software. It has an integrated Wi-Fi adapter, runs Windows Mobile 5.0, SD slot expansion, 3.5-inch screen and full-on media player. This is a hell of an idea, especially for the light travelers who don t want to shell out the big bucks for a dedicated navigation system, but are interested in something dual-purpose. This PDA loaded up with GPS software should be available next month for $530.
