Inkel's WIDETOUCH 5.6 does navigation and multimedia

We see a lot of GPS-enabled foreign PMPs pass through here, but rarely are they being pitched by a mascot quite as appealing as Inkel's Starfox-meets-Robin Hood spokesperson. Available in black or white, the WIDETOUCH 5.6 features -- you guessed it -- a 5.6-inch widescreen LCD for navigation and media viewing, 400MHz Samsung ARM CPU, and built-in DMB receiver on select models. That digital TV option hikes the price up to almost $600, but since this model will only be sold in Korea, things like pricing and availability probably don't matter much to you.

Korea!! So what was the whole point of telling us?

I hope Inkel joins the processor business and releases the new "Inkel Penkium"! I'd buy it in a heartbeat..

Why do people in foreign countries seem to suffer this incessant need for navigation? Why don't they know how to get around? For that one time a year you really have no clue where to go, can't they buy a $3 map?

"Inkel's Starfox-meets-Robin Hood spokesperson"

Hmm...I thought it was more Disney-meets-Robin Hood

I like the idea personally, expecially the touching... and the wideness of touching, broad touching sounds comfy, so, wouldn't Wide Touch be just one big hug for everyone that buys it? But... no hugs for non-Koreans. We like hugs too! This is rediculous...

PWAHAHA... what a "foxy" rep...

WHY ONLY ASIAN COUNTRIES!

Damnit, why in the world can't they release any of these decent models to the US? I'm tired of looking at the damn Tom-Tom.

Thing is pretty sexy looking. Potential "iPod Killa" in da house!! No I'm not talking about the mascot. Yes, industrial design can be sexy...

Uhh, yea, I don't think I would buy a PMP endorsed by a fox in tights, but that's just me.

Does it include the Firefox browser ?

Could someone explain to me why I would go and pay more for a device like this if I can get a Pocket PC with many more features for less. Doesn't make sense to me.
