Alpine Blackbird PMD-B100 rocks GPS, tunes

Alpine will be releasing a new portable navigation device this month, the Blackbird PMD-B100, that rocks MP3, WMA, and WAV playback, as well as an FM tuner, along with the usual routing functions. Running on Windows CE, the B100 sports a 3.6-inch, 16.7 million color touchscreen LCD, built in US map coverage, and an integrated traffic receiver. You can bulk up the internal maps through the SD slot or by direct connection to a PC via USB 2.0, and get your remote control-on with the optional, um, remote control. $750 will make the Blackbird your very own.
