MyDean's FX-1 seven-inch navigation unit does DMB

Another day, another Korean-based DMB navigation system -- but MyDean's FX-1 does manage to differentiate itself just enough to keep it from completely blending in. The stylish black frame and thin design emphasize the expansive seven-inch LCD, and while it features the same DMB TV tuning and media playing abilities as everyone else, we can't fault a firm for tryin'. Per usual, you'll find a built-in speaker, car mounting options, USB connectivity, an SD slot, stylus, integrated GPS antenna, a wireless remote, a few games thrown in for good measure, and an FM tuner to boot. Sure, there's nothing here you haven't seen (multiple times) before, but the ?199,000 ($215) pricetag sure looks attractive nonetheless.

Its also the same icon for the movies folder in the home menu in Mac OS X.

[Steven @ Jun 21st 2007 9:36AM]

No, their icon is a nasty green icon, whereas OS X is black.

[Zach @ Jun 21st 2007 9:48AM]

Look at the movie icon in the sidebar of finder, its green.

[MDB @ Jun 21st 2007 9:44AM]

It's also... a fucking COMPASS. On a nav device... who would have thought?

On a different note, I'd prefer it if Engadget would post items that are actually available in the US. What's their obssession with Korean electronics we'll never see?

[Zach @ Jun 21st 2007 9:49AM]

Actually I want to retract my comment, they have different clappers, though they are similiar.

[Jerrick @ Jun 21st 2007 10:07AM]

No way! It is the Safari compass. It looks too similar!!!

[MDB @ Jun 21st 2007 10:20AM]

It's clearly a ripoff of the Safari icon, but let's think about this rationally... a compass is more appropriate on a nav device than an internet browser

[sam @ Jun 21st 2007 11:02AM]

as if a giant lower case "e" with a planetary ring or a fox cradling a globe were any better of a browser icon.

[MDB @ Jun 21st 2007 11:19AM]

As a matter of law, it's entirely different. The internet explorer symbol is only used to represent internet explorer. The Fox trademark is only used to represent Fox. Compasses on the other hand, are much less subject to such scrutiny.

[MDB @ Jun 21st 2007 11:21AM]

It would be different if the symbol were being used for an internet broswer, but I assume, since it's a navigation unit, it's referring to the nav portion of the hardware's software.
