 Trusted Reviews were able to get their hands on the HP iPaq rx1950 Navigator GPS Bundle, which now is a quite an outdated concept since most consumers prefer opting for a full fledged GPS device. The site however likes the PDA and its overall functionality which they found to be pocket friendly and light. However , when it comes to GPS functionality, the HP iPaq rx1950 fails and be it the software, the 3D display, the details on the maps and the interface all were disappointing.The iPaq rx1950 Navigator GPS Bundle is a result of the partnership between HP and ViaMichelin and uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 as its OS and an updated Microsoft Office software. It has integrated Wi-Fi (802.11b) for high-speed wireless access to the Internet and e-mail and is compact enough to be secured in a car. The car cradle contains the integrated SSiRFstar III GPS receiver, in addition to built in speakers and a windshield mount suction cup. ViaMichelin provides all the maps and other GPS information. The whole bundle includes HP iPAQ rx1950 PDA, a cradle for the PDA, and ViaMichelin software.In the end the website writes: “GPS moved to stand alone devices because of the clunkiness of the separate PDA and GPS solution and nothing here indicates that this was a bad thing. The hx1950 is a decent PDA but the shortcomings of Windows Mobile 5 as a platform for GPS are highlighted by crashes. Things might be improved with better navigation software but I’d still recommend going for a dedicated in-car GPS solution or one that works on a smartphone, such as this package from Navicore”.

 Is it time for the Internet giant to expand into the world of physical gadgets? I guess Callum Peden, a UK designer, thinks so. He's created the concept of a "Google Vision" device, which basically takes Google Maps to a more personal level.The concept brings three features into one handheld gadget -- a retractable LCD screen, a digital camera, and GPS functionality. What this would allow you to do is to take pictures of anything and it will automatically map it. So if you can't remember where that doctor's office is, you can just pull out your Google Vision, provided that you've snapped a picture of it previously.It could also apparently be able to connect wirelessly to the Internet and recognize nearby landmarks and download information about the area, so while you're on vacation it could turn into a virtual tour guide. It's quite an interesting concept, and something that I think has a shot of making it to retail, though it may take a while.
