i-Station NetForce Navi GPS device comes fully loaded

The big trend right now in Asian GPS devices is to include some T-DMB television along with the trusty nav unit (sadly, we've got no idea when us Yanks will see anything similar). As such, the i-Station NetForce Navi has just done the inverse, pairing GPS with what we'd previously seen on the similarly-sized classic T-DMB NetForce device. The new Navi has a 4.3-inch (800 x 480) TFT LCD, HSDPA, a T-DMB receiver, and can play loads of video files (includes H.264) and audio formats as well. And yes, we agree with Navigadget's assessment that if the NetForce Navi were to come out Stateside, it would give the nuvi 660 a run for its money, particularly if it was priced lower than $1,000.

I'm telling you that this one is a piece of crap. It's true that it has a great fucntions with. But the biggest problem of this the "bugs" It has tons of bugs and most of the Korean users say "Do not buy any product by Digital Cube!" at all times.

I would rather have a GPS that does one thing, and does it well, instead of a GPS that does loads of things crappy!

You probably won't - ATSC TV, to my knowledge, can't handle reception at speed - IE you can't tune into ATSC digital TV when moving at high speeds(like in a car).

How about T-DMB's deployment? Does it get really popular in many other countries except Korea?
