Hands-on with Fujitsu's upcoming Pocket LOOX N100 GPS unit

We recently got some one-on-one time with this new portable GPS device from Fujitsu due next year. The unit is powered by Navigon's new GPS software, and you can color us impressed. Officially titled "Fujitsu's Pocket LOOX, Directed by NAVIGON," the cute little Pocket LOOX N100 runs Navigon's fancy new MobileNavigator|6 Premium, and is based on a 300MHz Samsung processor and SiRF Star III chip. The 2.8-inch QVGA screen is bright and colorful, and there's 64MB of RAM, along with a miniSD card slot to keep things interesting. The main functionality outside of GPS is MP3, WMA, AAC playback and a couple of games -- no PMP wares to see here -- but the actual GPS software is pretty dang slick and feature-filled. The best news is that all of this takes place in a quite portable 3.5 ounce form factor, and while the $500 pricetag is pretty hard to justify, there's no arguing with the sexy here. We should be seeing more of this unit at CES, with a March '07 launch date to follow. Keep reading for some more pics.

Lenovo takes their 3000 N100 to Core 2 Duo

While we wait for Apple to get their MacBook act together, a few more Core 2 Duo stragglers are wandering in, and this time it's Lenovo's N100 from their 3000 series getting the Merom boost. Beyond the processor goodies, which seem to encompass most of the Intel's offerings, the N100 boasts of an 802.11n MIMO WiFi option, your choice of a 14.1 or 15.4-inch widescreen LCD, and an option with the 15-inchers for an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 card running 64 or 128MB of memory. The 15-inch models also seem to have an option for a built-in webcam, but we're low on deets. Since Lenovo isn't telling us any different, we're guessing the screen res options match up with the previous offerings, along with the rest of the specs. We should be seeing these for sale any day now -- they're listed at the Lenovo site now, but one of the links is broken and some of the specs don't match -- and prices should start around $800.

We first heard it was coming back in January and sho'nuff, Fujitsu-Siemens just went live with their new LOOX N100 series of pocket GPS navigators. These SiRFstar III devices run WinCE 5.0 on their 300MHz Samsung MCP3 processor and include 64MB RAM with miniSD expansion, a 2.8-inch QVGA (240 x 320) 64k color touchscreen display, MP3/WMA/AAC music playback, and NAVIGON MobileNavigator 6 navigation software all in a 0.02-pound lightweight device. The N110 also packs in an addition 2GB of flash while the N100 ekes out 128MB. We still don't have a price or ship date but it can't be long now.
