Sanyo Updates EasyStreet GPS: NVM-4370 has 7 Million Interest-Points Preloaded
It's been a while since we talked about Sanyo's GPS systems, and it's not exactly a huge name in the game, but Sanyo's kept working away and now has the NVM-4370. It's a 4.3-inch screen GPS with Bluetooth, text-to-speech, all the usual media player functions and an FM transmitter to broadcast audio through your car stereo. So far so good, but it also comes preloaded with seven million points of interest to help you when navigating, and its maps cover the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. It's also got a hookup point that accepts reversing-view cameras. Not bad for $300. [Navigadget]

Sanyo Xacti E2 Arrives Just in Time for Summer to End
Sanyo is finally gracing the US with the second generation of their respected waterproof Xacti line, the Xacti E2. Capturing either 8MP stills or 640x480 AVC/H.264 video, the 9.1-ounce Xacti E2 can fit up to 8 hours of footage on an 8GB SD/SDHC card (so that's 1GB/hr). Unfortunately, the Xacti E2 is only waterproof to depths of 5 feet. Available now for $400, we dug up some test footage for those of you who like watching a couple of dudes swimming: More »

batteries
Sanyo's just expanded their lineup of rechargeable batteries to include Cs and Ds, two sizes Jesus can't wait to get his hands on. They're rated as being rechargeable up to 1000 times, which is quite a few sessions of whatever it is you're doing with C and D batteries. There's also a new charger for these, and all of the above will be released September 12. Stock up on a few for the inevitable zombie invasion. [Sanyo]

camcorders
Sanyo's HD700 Xacti was the then smallest 720p camcorder in the world, and we liked it. Time's moved on and Sanyo has a new Xacti, the HD800, and it's apparently a great leap in video quality. The new cam has an 8-megapixel CMOS sensor, and shoots 720p video at 30fps in MPEG4 format. It's also got "three-dimensional noise reduction" for improved image sharpness, can track up to 12 faces in the scene for optimum image settings, a 5x optical zoom and can shoot down to a minimum of 3 lux. The SDHC-recording cam comes this time in whacky 70s-esque color schemes, and is available August 22nd in Japan at first, for around $460. Press release below.

Sanyo Brings Wireless Eneloop Charging to the Wiimote
It's been a while since we've shown you anything with Sanyo's Eneloop label, but this new product bearing the wireless charging tech will sound like good news for Wiimote users fed up of awkward battery/charging solutions. Sanyo have teamed up with Nintendo to make the Eneloop Wiimote charger: and it's contactless. You simply replace the standard Wiimote back, drop it into the stand (which even accommodates silicon covers) when you're done playing, and it'll refill the batteries in 220 minutes. The stands can daisy chain off one power brick, so up to four Wiimotes can get juice at the same time. But there's a problem: apparently it's Japan only for now. Though I can't imagine it'll always be: it's just way too useful. [Akihabaranews]
