JATY's multifaceted DR7200 navigator doubles as breathalyzer

Believe it or not, JATY is far from being the first gadget maker to think of stuffing a breathalyzer into something completely unrelated (like a wristwatch), but this do-it-all navigator really has included everything save for the kitchen sink (and an N64 emulator, but you get the point). Specs wise, you're looking at a 7-inch touchscreen, 533MHz CPU, WinCE 5.0, 64MB of NAND Flash / SDRAM, an SD expansion slot, built-in GPS / T-DMB receivers, USB connectivity, integrated speakers and support for MP3, WMV, OGG, AC3, MPEG1/2/4, DivX, XviD, AVI and JPG formats (just to name a few). Chances are you'll never see this on US soil, so you're looking at a flight to Seoul in addition to ?296,000 ($294) in order to procure one.

That is seriously ingenious- better than pacing around until you feel like you're "good to go" and not as embarrassing as having a little stand-alone breathalyzer in your door pocket. :)

When can we get it on a Garmin?

...

How is that unrelated?

You use navigation to drive... If you're over the limit to drive, you shouldn't drive...

I don't know, if I had 2 shots about 1.5 hours ago, I'd like to know if I'm legal yet. Drinking and driving is bad, yes, but I socially drink 2~3 drinks over 3~4 hr period. Don't hate.

And it's always funny to see Korean on engadget. Makes me miss the food (and tech and cheap stuff)

Where do you blow into this thing..?

[jason @ Jul 16th 2008 12:04PM]

why is there an iphone in there?

[Pochi @ Jul 16th 2008 12:06PM]

That is obviously an iBrethalyzer.

[waterwagen @ Jul 16th 2008 1:34PM]

Exactly what I thought.

[Homeboy @ Jul 16th 2008 2:11PM]

Yeah! It's as if every news that's been posted lately is iPhone related in one way or another.

[Pochi @ Jul 16th 2008 12:05PM]

lol check out the skull and crossbones

[Josh L @ Jul 16th 2008 12:20PM]

Anyone read Korean? What does it say next to the skull and crossbones?

[dk @ Jul 16th 2008 12:32PM]

it says "warning."

the lines underneath say:
"500,000 to 2,000,000 won ($500 - $2,000) fine & possible criminal prosecution"
"Please Do Not Drive!"
(Over 0.05%)
Buttons say:
"A link to related laws" & "End"

[NHAnimator @ Jul 16th 2008 12:26PM]

When you blow over the limit, it automatically displays all muchie-related POI's.

[NHAnimator @ Jul 16th 2008 12:26PM]

(or munchie-)

[majortom @ Jul 16th 2008 12:43PM]

is that a 1 or a 7? :p I once worked on a guy who had a BA of 453, and he was still awake and breathing.

[jinjin @ Jul 16th 2008 12:50PM]

it reads DANGER

[Irfan @ Jul 16th 2008 2:06PM]

i wouldnt think a breathalyzer on a watch is unrelated either. you'd always have it with you.

[JamesR @ Jul 16th 2008 2:12PM]

Hopefully if you're blowing a 0.12% BAC you don't need a breathalizer to tell you you're took f'd up to drive...

If this was wired into the ignition that would rock.

[sepirioth @ Jul 16th 2008 2:13PM]

Is it just me or does the reader look allot like a phone people are still queing up for?

[tyler @ Jul 16th 2008 2:44PM]

Actually its just you.

[Shane @ Jul 16th 2008 3:34PM]

Based off my experience in Korea, this thing will be used by businessmen in suits who have been drinking since 2pm on a Tuesday, to see if they are drunk enough to go home to their wife, or if they should shack up in a love motel with one of the girls from the room clubs where he just paid $500 for a bottle of $60 jack daniels.

[simple3 @ Jul 16th 2008 3:49PM]

it should just give you directions to the nearest police station and/or emergency room if you blow over the limit.
