Novago V90 GPS with voice recognition

For years we've been suggesting that our GPS receivers perform unnatural acts upon themselves in uncomfortable places after misdirecting us for the umpteenth time, but the forthcoming V90 from Novogo may be one of the first units to actually listen to us and perform the requested operation (either that or it will get snippy, and pout by going on standby). Seriously, though, the V90 does indeed include voice-recognition software, which we assume is used for giving it directions and not telling it what a piece of crap you think it is. Besides the electronic ear, this device also sports a 400 MHz processor, 3.5-inch color touchscreen, CF and SD card slots, remote control, and the Traffic Message Channel service for re-routing. Unfortunately neither price nor release date are known for this rather snazzy looking route-finder.

Is it me, or does it look EXACTLY like a standard PDA turned on its side? Complete with the function buttons and cursor pad?

Found some more information here and a price of about $950 US:

Still not a bad deal. I like the look and feature set and the screenshots look nice. I think I'll wait for a few more reviews though, but definitely a contender.

Who cares if it has a phone on it. Can I tell it "Get me home!" and have it automatically guide me home from the afterparty?

Wow.............nice!

Now all that's left is a GPS that acknowlodges street lights and speed limits and controls the car and steering wheel.

I think it'll be a great deal if it could control that much.
