Looks like Mercedes-Benz couldn't resist (come on Lexus, I need this) popping out their very own iPhone app (and BlackBerry if you are in to that type of thing). The Mercedes iPhone application is actually pretty useful, it allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle, locate your car via…
I have yet to see a Google Android phone that comes close to the iPhone. But, I sure would love to have free turn-by-turn navigation on my iPhone, instead of an overpriced iPhone ap. On that note Google maps navigation is being offered for free to users of Android 2.0. …
The overpriced Tom Tom car kit is available for purchase now for a whopping $119. Pair the $119 cradle with the $99 app and you are out the price of an iPhone to have a cradle and turn-by-turn GPS. Video after the break.
Some day we will completely merge the cell phone and camera. I don't mean the crappy low resolution camera with no optical zoom or flash. I mean a real camera, on a real cell phone. Casio agrees with their latest upcoming release of the Casio Exilim CA003 which has a…
The good: The Garmin Nuvi 255W has a large 4.3-inch touch screen and a clean and easy to use interface. The operating system, trip routing/rerouting is faster than most competitor products we have tested. The “where am I?” feature is handy for emergencies.

We know you all have been eagerly awaiting the good word on that new Magellan GPS ever since it came to our attention (via some cat’s diligent FCC carousing) at the end of May. According to an announcement dropped this morning, the Maestro 4700 should be making the scene on…
The iPhone maps and GPS are great… but they aren’t good for driving directions or turn-by-turn help. If you want to make your iPhone a “real” GPS, check out the Navigon application for the 3G and 3G S phones. Should be in full swing by the end of the month.
Earlier this year at CES, Eclipse showed us the DREC20000, an in-car video recorder that saves its last 20 seconds of footage if it senses a car accident. Unfortunately, the Eclipse device is only available in Japan. But if you want that kind of device in the U.S., KCI Communications…
For the Simpsons fans, TomTom has come out with a Homer Simpson voice skin for their GPS units. The Homer Voice will cost about $13 and should make missing turns a bit more bearable… doh! He’ll give you colorful directions like "take the third right. We might find an ice…
