Navigon
is renowned name in the field of GPS navigation systems, and this company has rolled
back the venerable 7100 model, replacing it instead with the 7200T. This
successor will retain Navigon's free, real-time traffic as well as core
features of it's predecessor, will yield better user interface as well for
greater ease-of-use.
This
device is very stylish and sleekly designed. There are many impressive features
with this unit. For a start, it has Reality
View Pro which means that the signs are all in photo realistic 3D. It also offers free real-time traffic updates for life, therefore allowing the
user to avoid congestion on the roads
and provides an alternative route. Voice
destination entry uses advanced voice recognition to allow the driver to
speak the address, which is a lot safer.
It
features
- A
frameless, 4.3inch touch screen display.
The
7200T comes with Bluetooth for hands free communication. It also has direct
help, giving the user instant directions and contact information to nearby
avenues.
It is said to be on sale as from October 2008, and will be
around $449.
It's hard to say when we, the consumers, will
actually see any real benefit from the latest noteworthy discovery from Northeastern University, but we can only imagine that
Srinivas Sridhar and team aren't wasting any time moving things forward. Said
crew has recently created a "new microlens that focuses infrared light at
telecommunication frequencies," and if you're looking for specifics, it
can focus an infrared beam
to a spot just 12-micrometers away from the surface. The science behind the
discovery is probably only digestible by those that understand rocket science,
but the long of short of it is this: the "research shows that it is
possible to create smaller, ultra-compact infrared optical components that can
be integrated into existing semiconductor technologies while not sacrificing
image quality." Now that's something even the layman can appreciate
