OQO now offering customized GPS unit
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/ 2008/ 05/ 20/ oqo-now-offering-customized-gps-unit/
The OQO 02 has always seemed like the perfect match for purpose-built GPS unit. Thanks to Garmin, that dream is now a reality. The two companies have combined forces to bring a special OQO-edition Garmin GPS unit. The bundle includes a Garmin Mobile PC adapter, RAM car mount, and a car/airplane power adapter. Garmin apparently customized the user interface to match the OQO UI. We haven't had a chance to test it just yet, but we're pretty confident that both companies are capable of pulling this off successfully. It's available now for $237. Hit the link for more info! UPDATE: The software and GPS receiver is only $99.
