Hasta La Gadget!

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, and if you need to fill the void of being alone, try these hot bargains. Here are Gearlog’s deals for Friday, Feb. 13:

1. Amazon’s Friday Sale offers five of the top 100 romantic albums of all time. Choose form albums such as Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get it On,” “Nat King Cole Sings for Two in Love,” “Barry White Plays for Someone You Love,” Aretha Franklin’s “I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You,” and Portishead’s “Dummy,” for just $5 each.

2. Amazon is also offering the Garmin Colorado 300 Bilingual Handheld GPS Navigator for 50 percent off. It has a built-in basemap, high-sensitivity receiver, barometric altimeter, electronic compass, SD card slot, color display, picture viewer, and more. Originally $499.99, you can now have the GPS navigator for $249.99.

3. Get the Sony External USB 2.0 Dual-Layer 20X DVD Burner from Sellout.woot for just $34.99. The DVD burner is normally $99.99.

We saw this one coming quite a while back, but it looks like the Cowon L3 satnav / PMP is officially official now. We stil haven’t got full specs on this baby yet, but the 7-incher’s got a 700×480 resolution, an unnamed dual core CPU, 128MB of SDRAM, 4GB of memory, an SD Slot, and GPS, and a fuel consumption indicator. We don’t have any specific information as to availability — though it’s unlikely it’ll ever get anywhere near North America — or pricing yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do!

Update: Full specs at the read link now on Cowon’s site!

They finally, really did it. Have you been lugging around that G1 and a GPS unit, grunting disdainfully every time you have to bust the latter out? Well it looks like TeleNav has heard your cries of disgust. The company is officially launching its turn-by-turn GPS navigation for the Android-powered device come February 24th. The software will feature full color 3D graphics, speech recognition, one-click rerouting, and traffic alerts, as well as weather updates, gas prices, and restaurant reviews (the PR claims over 10 million business and services). The service will launch with a 30-day free trial, after which it’ll run you $9.99 a month. While we can’t say we’re too stoked on the price, it’s still not too terrible of a fee to pay to actually put that GPS chip to use (and save some room in your glove compartment). Convergence: we’re almost there.

Valentine’s Day is just three days away. If you haven’t already seen Part One and Part Two of Gearlog’s geeky Valentine’s gifts, check them out. But if you’re looking for more of a bargain, check out Gearlog’s deals for Wednesday, Feb. 11:

1. Gearing up for Valentine’s Day, Amazon is having a sale on romantic comedies. Save up to 50 percent off on these heart-pounding chick flicks (yes, guys can buy these too). Get great titles like the 20th anniversary edition of “The Princess Bride,” or “Say Anything,” for just $4.99. Check out the sale now, it ends today.

2. Get the Wii Fit 5-in-1 Fitness Bundle by Dreamgear from Buy.com for just $36.99 with free shipping. The bundle is regularly $59.99. The kit includes three pairs of textured foot socks, a rechargeable battery pack, a USB charging cable, Jeli sleeves, fitness mat, and a travel bag.

3. Amazon’s Deal of the Day is the Garmin nüvi 760 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Automobile Navigator. Normally $237.79, the GPS system is selling for $199.99. It has advanced navigation features, a widescreen display, preloaded maps, an FM transmitter, hands-free calling, traffic alerts, and more. But act fast, the deal is only good for today.

Sony last upgraded its CS1 GPS image tracker around this time last year, and as PMA 2009 draws ever closer, we’re seeing the outfit quietly introduce that unit’s proper successor. The GPS-CS3KA takes on a slightly more modern design and promises compatibility with nearly every Cyber-shot digital still camera and Handycam camcorder out there. Essentially, the utility here is the same as before — keep it on your person while shooting, then let the Picture Motion Browser software sync up data with the time stamps on your photos. Once done, you’ll get a nifty Google Map showing where you photographed each image. This unit also sports dual MS / SD card slots and can run for almost 15 hours on a single AA cell. We’re almost guaranteed a look at this early next month in Vegas, but the general public will have to wait until it ships in late March for $149.99.
