Gizmodo: 660

D-Link DIR-660 Limited Edition 802.11n Router Reviewed (Verdict: Good Looking, Great Speeds, Lousy Range)

Jason Chen — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 19:40:39 EDT

D-Link's all white DIR-660 Limited Edition Wireless N router looks great on the outside, and performs decently on the...outside. There's MIMO, which is fantastic, along with an OLED display on the top for status updates, but an old Netgear G router i4u tested with had better range than the 660 even in N mode. Speeds were great, but you give up range for throughput. Only good if you've got a tiny apartment, or you really love OLED displays you can only read from a few feet away. [i4u]

Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS: Officially Announced at $1076.91

Quick update: Garmin woke up this morning and officially unveiled the Nuvi 660 GPS. We love our Garmins and this would be the perfect one, with its widescreen, slim form, traffic receiver, and ability to read street names, useful for when the turns come up thick and fast. Nothing to add to what we've covered except the wonky price of $1076.91.– Brian Lam

Garmin Nuvi 660 GPS: Widescreen With a FM Transmitter

Brian Lam — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 03:35:40 EDT

What's the story with this leaked GPS? Well, I'll tell you. Garmin is trying to keep pace with TomTom's widescreen models by adding this 4.3-inch, 480 by 272 pixel touchscreen to their latest navigator. Their last generation of Nuvis had players had MP3 support, which sounded really shit coming out of the little speakers in back. This one has an FM transmitter to route the tunes through your stereo. FYI, I'm still not using a GPS as my music player, kthx.

The GPS also has a high sensitivity SiRF star III receiver, built in traffic data, 700MB of internal memory for maps, a SD slot, a world currency converter, picture viewer, Bluetooth integration with a cellphone, and the usual Garmin interface that's sweet as a peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich. Bye, I'm going to go eat now.

Wait, one more thing. The GPS guys at GPS Passion forums say that the bigger screen is going to make the Garmin slower to respond than older gen models. We shall see in September, when this thing hits for a little less than $1000.– Brian Lam
