Navigon’s new GPS system, the Navigon 2150 Max is now readily available in the UK. It looks exactly the same as the Navigon 2110 Max which rolled out in June, but like mom used to say - never judge a book by its cover. The Navigon 2150 Max does come with some important enhancements and features normally found in GPS devices of a higher class. Features include Text-to-Speech capability and an integrated Bluetooth hands-free kit. Interestingly enough, you can update the Navigon 2110 Max’s firmware through the Navigon Fresh online service, but those who want to pick up the Navigon 2150 Max straight away will have to pony up £229.

Navigon’s 2150 Max isn’t revolutionary in terms of design nor specifications, but it does feature a rather delicious list of features for just £229.99 ($458). All-too-trusting UK motorists can look forward to a 4.3-inch display, pre-loaded maps of 39 countries, built-in Bluetooth, text-to-speech and support for live traffic information. Oh, and in case our header was unclear, it’s shipping this very moment in time.

Like the Kojinsha SC3, the Fujitsu U2010 is a tiny notebook running on the new Intel Menlow platform. Here is the run down on the specs, 1,280 x 800 resolution display, a battery life of 3.5 hours when benchmarked under Bapco MobileMark 2007 Productivity. That would require one to turn Wi-Fi connectivity off, lower the screen brightness with a few office applications running in the background. The Fujitsu U2010 tips the scales at 610gm and comes with a fingerprint reader and dual memory card slots. It will retail for HK$1350.

According to an offer from Comcast, newcomers to the company’s “Triple Play” of digital cable, VoIP service, and high-speed internet will also be able to bag a Nintendo Wii on their way out the door. Of course it comes with a two year contract but you get to walk away with a console that isn’t exactly easy to find on store shelves. A sweet deal if you ask me.

LG, on Monday said that they have made a deal with US cable providers to get support for Tru2way the new two-directional HD video standard, a descendent of CableCARD, which allows protected HDTV but has only one-way output limiting it to normal TV channels. A memorandum of understanding between LG and six US cable makers should see the latter offer support for tru2way on their networks, letting HDTV from LG and other set makers supply HDTV with interactive options such as video on demand or more advanced programming guides without needing a separate device. LG also says that TVs of their own with built-in support will only be available sometime in 2009.

According to rumors, both the MacBook and MacBook Pro will allegedly switch to glass-surfaced trackpads that allow multi-touch gestures.

If the rumors are accurate, Apple will be rolling the new system sometime in September.
