There’s never a dull moment in the cellphone arena, ever. And now that Garmin has officially announced their Nuvifone there’s a guarantee that there will be all kinds of talk and excitement over the next coming months. Yes, it’s official. Garmin has announced that they are making their first solo appearance into the cellphone industry by launching the nuviphone. It’s set to launch in the 3rd quarter this year, although no specific date has been mentioned.
And since it’s Garmin, a leader in global positioning systems, the phone will be big on GPS and helping you navigate. One of the big complaints about the iPhone is that it doesn’t have built-in GPS and now Garmin is coming in to offer a touch-screen device with GPS. Here are a few questions that come to mind regarding the phone:
- How are they going to perfect the on-screen keyboard?
- How will they make use of the touch-screen (e.g., what will scrolling be like?)
- Which carriers will be selling the phone?
- How long will the battery life be? (this is one shining point of the iPhone, and one reason they didn’t include a GPS, it affected battery life too much)
Garmin has a whole gallery of images that gives us an idea of what everything will be like from the web browser and navigation to the integration of Google local. Below are a few of those images:
According to Garmin’s COO, they’re calling it the “breakthrough product that cellphone and GPS users around the world have been longing for.” We’ll be keeping our eye out for more info on this one. If done right, it could turn into an decent iPhone competitor.

If there was ever one new product that Apple would need to take their time with to make sure they did it right, it would be a tablet computer. There have been rumors upon rumors that Apple was working on such a thing, but nothing really came of it. Now the rumors are starting to flow again, and this time they have a little more meat to them.
According to MacDailyNews, they say their source (who happens to be the same source that tipped them correctly about wireless iTunes Store sales coming to the iPod and iPhone) tells them that Apple is working on a MacBook Touch. Here’s what they said:
Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion’s haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at “low” price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.
It’s very possible that Apple has been working on a tablet computer for quite some time, trying to perfect it. They certainly had the time to do it. Luckily for Apple, they’ve seen how Tablet PC’s really haven’t taken off which bought them some time to come up with something amazing. If Tablet PC’s had taken off, Apple would have been under more pressure to come up with their own version a little sooner.
Another indication that Apple is at least working on something unique comes from their CFO, Peter Oppenheimer who was discussing Apple’s quarter 3 financial results on a conference call yesterday and said, “We are working to develop new products that contain technologies that our competition will not be able to match. I cannot discuss these new products, but we are very confident in our product pipeline.”
