Thinkware's iNAVI G1 karaoke GPS unit in the wild
How were we to know that karaoke would become the next must-have feature in Korean do-it-all navigation devices? Thinkware's 7-inch iNAVI G1, which we spotted a few weeks ago, does all that you would expect of such a GPS unit, like picture-in-picture T-DMB, MP3 / video playback, and games, but the "Digioke" feature for road trip singalongs really makes this one a winner in our book. There's a 2GB version for 549,000 KRW ($598 US) and a 4GB flavor for 599,000 KRW ($652 US). Hit up the read link for a few more flesh and blood pictures, but that's about as close as you're going to get to this thing unless you're planning a trip to South Korea sometime soon.
iNavi G1 GPS unit adds karaoke for maximum distraction
Just when were beginning to think that PMP/DMB/GPS combo units couldn't offer any more driving distractions, along comes the iNavi G1, which boasts all of the aforementioned acronyms and adds some sorely-lacking karaoke to the mix. Apart from that notable distinction, the device looks to be a fairly ordinary one, boasting a 7-inch widescreen display, an SD card slot for expansion, support for all the usual audio and video formats (including DivX), and a so-called "G-Sensor" that promises to aid in navigation where GPS signals are weak. No word on price or availability, although you can be fairly sure that we won't be seeing one 'round these parts anytime soon.
