Garmin StreetPilot i3 and i2

The rock doesn't stop from Garmin this morning. We already hit up the iQue M3 and the StreetPilot 2720, next up are a couple of new automotive GPS navigators that are the entry-level tip, the StreetPilot i2 and i3. Both are smaller and come with a suction cup for mounting and a TransFlash memory card slot for loading up more map data, the only significant difference between the two is that the i3 has a 176 x 220 pixel, 32,000 color display while the i2 kicks it monochrome with a 176 x 240 pixel display. The i3 should be out next month with the i2 to follow in October.

Price?

Finally, a form factor that makes sense for a motorcycle. But what are the odds they bothered to weatherize something clearly meant for the inside of a car windshield? Le sigh...

Holy crap they are expensive for such a small device :

StreetPiolet c320
http://www.garmin.com/products/sp320/
Suggested Retail Price: $749.99 U.S.D.

StreetPiolet c330
http://www.garmin.com/products/sp330/
Suggested Retail Price: $964.27 U.S.D.

BUT they are not the i3 and i2 right? Still I wonder how much they are going to be after seeing those prices. Might as well get a in car computer for $900.

I like the remarkably hand-drawn quality of the display :)

I could see this mounted to my scoot and make it much easier to find things in Boston.

Anyone have any idea how you program in your desitination? If that roller-wheel the only interface or will it be a touchscreen?

Dude, not to be too picky, but TransFlash is now MicroSD.

Late.

p.s. I learned it from YOU, I learned it from you.

jared get the Quest II (also new today) it is one of the GPSes of choice for motorcyclists or the 2610 (maybe the 2720 if it doesn't have a HD)

These seem like they are along the lines of the TomTom models that look lime tiny Imacs. Rmembe those......

Also, there is a model for motor cycles, I think its either a Tom TOm Go model or iQue. Sweet
