  Engadget heeft een aardig bericht over een navigatie-accessoire voor de OQO van Garmin. Met de kit van Garmin kan deze Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) met een zuignap aan de voorruit worden bevestigd. Naast de zuignap, levert Garmin ook navigatiesoftware voor op de OQO mee. Klinkt leuk, maar het is wel een aardig prijzige navigatie-oplossing. De OQO kost namelijk 2.000 dollar, en de Garmin-navigatiekit zo’n 237 dollar. En dan te bedenken dat een losse Garmin-navigator een dollar of 400 kost. Of, zoals Engadget het schrijft: “We’ve always wondered exactly what people were supposed to use UMPCs for, and now we have at least one answer: as GPS units. Yep, that’s right: OQO and Garmin have released an official kit to turn your $2,000 OQO 02 into a $400 Garmin GPS unit. For $237.” Aan de andere kant: wie de OQO toch al voor andere doeleinden gebruikt kan het een handige oplossing zijn. Via Engadget.

  GPS de Garmin para el OQO 02

  Antes de que os empecéis a plantear alguna compra, os diré que el OQO 02 es un UMPC que vale la friolera de 1300 euros. Una vez sabiendo este dato, vamos a analizar qué es lo que nos trae al mercado Garmin para este UMPC. Se trata de un receptor GPS por USB, que si lo conectamos al OQO 02 y con su correspondiente soporte para el coche, nos convertirá el UMPC en un sistema de navegación sofisticado donde los haya. Además, Garmin ha puesto empeño en este accesorio y ha dotado a la navegación de una interfaz personalizada. El precio del pack GPS + soporte es de 150 euros, mapas incluidos. Eso sí, también podemos comprar las cosas por separado y optar por no comprar los mapas (ya me entendéis), y así nos saldría unos cuantos euros más barato.

  Filed under: GPS, Handhelds We've always wondered exactly what people were supposed to use UMPCs for, and now we have at least one answer: as GPS units. Yep, that's right: OQO and Garmin have released an official kit to turn your $2,000 OQO 02 into a $400 Garmin GPS unit. For $237. No, we have no idea who would buy this, but if you're feeling like throwing some bills around, you'll find a Garmin Mobile PC unit, car mount, and power adapter in the box, as well as a small note from us with an address you can send your additional silly money to for proper disposal. PS. - Yes, we know you can also buy the Garmin adapter for $99 and the mount for $59, but it's the ridiculous bundle pricing that's got us all hot and bothered.
