At CES we came crossways quite a some accessories for adding GPS functionality to the iPod Touch and add the prototypal impact iPhone, but they commonly consisted of some grotesque arm or scheme that prefabricated the amount awkward to dispense around. But PosiMotion has become up with what I conceive is a meliorate idea. Their G-Fi is essentially a battery-powered wireless router with built-in GPS element that crapper course guidance and function accumulation to your device. It entireness with both the iPod Touch and iPhone 2G in organization with PosiMotion’s Navmii turn-by-turn guidance code ($32.99) and patch the mini router crapper be used to move some devices that hold ad-hoc wifi networks for multiplayer activity or enter transfers, I’m not trusty if the streamed GPS accumulation crapper be used by another applications.

The built-in rechargeable shelling powers the G-Fi for most 5 hours with a information arrange of most 100 feet, and I surmisal the $99 sound attach is a discernment cheaper than upgrading to the iPhone 3G or 3GS depending on your current contract. But if you’re disagreeable to opt between the iPod Touch with this and a incommunicative GPS device, the latter is belike a cheaper solution. However, if you’re foregather fascinated in the ambulatory wifi router aspect, PosiMotion also sells the G-Fi VS which has a 6 distance shelling since it’s not powering GPS chipsets, and a sound attach of foregather $49.99.

It also features a handheld organisation that uses vocalise acceptance to ordered and hold the destination, patch the guidance directions are wirelessly communicated to the moving organisation on the designate dog’s harness. Now alas the Peepo isn’t acquirable for discernment foregather yet, but it’s currently digit of the entries for the James Dyson Award which also features a ‘People’s Choice’ winner.

I am still rocking the original iPhone so I don’t get that snazzy GPS location feature. Sure, I can find my general location with the phone using cellular towers, but have often wished for a full GPS device when I was on the road.

The full version will offer those features and driving directions. The maps rotate depending on the orientation of the screen.

Clarion’s ClarionMiND MID / PND has been a long time coming but, with the first few non-3G-equipped units now out there in the wild, we’re finally starting to get some reviews of the device, one of which comes from the folks at Mobile Tech Review. As you might expect, there’s quite a bit of compromises to be found both as an MID and a GPS device, although it does seem to be considerably more well-suited to the latter task than the former. The biggest drawback on that front, it seems, is a weak built-in speaker that may not be powerful enough to overcome road noise. Things seem to be decidedly more lackluster when used as an MID, however, a situation that isn’t helped by its underpowered 800MHz Z500 processor, its 850mAh battery, or its custom Linux distribution, which handles the basic internet-browsing tasks just fine but makes it difficult to install any third party apps. Hit up the link below for the complete rundown.

Small, right? That’s Epson’s Infineon XPOSYS chip, its next generation Assisted-GPS device set for mass production in late 2009. The chip measures just 2.8 x 2.9-mm making it 25% smaller than other A-GPS chips on the market, according to Epson, while consuming half the power. The sensitivity has also been improved for a more accurate location fix while indoors. Between this, Google Latitude, and the ever expanding lineup of Skyhook positioning devices, you can kiss your location anonymity goodbye.
