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 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
