Etronics' Inkel Widetouch W-7.0 offers GPS, PMP, and DMB

We love the idea of having GPS and PMP functionality in the same gadget, and when we see one of these devices with a 7-inch widescreen we certainly sit up and take notice, but unfortunately we'll need to make some friends in Korea if we ever hope to install the Inkel Widetouch W-7.0 from Etronics in our ride. Without any detailed specs on this upcoming model, we're going to assume that it's very similar to the ARM-powered Widetouch 5.6 we spotted last month, as both units also offer an optional DMB tuner to complement the media playback and navigation features. As usual, no word on pricing or release dates for this piece, but since the DMB-equipped 5.6 was going for around $600, we can safely assume that a similarly-configured 7-incher will cost at least a hundred bucks more. Keep reading to see just how fun it is to roll around with one of these in your Mercedes...

Anyone care to explain the technology behind the Dave Matthew's Band (DMB) tuner?

uhmm DMB stands for Digital Media Broadcast tuner. It's a tuner for digital TV.

I just bought the Garmin little GPS ( http://lordgizmo.com/2006/06/22/garmin-gps-device/ ) that I use to fish during the summer... can't wait to see the price of this new car GPS.

I wanted to get myself a GPS in my car... looks like I'll wait for this one.
