iPhone running iGO and Garmin 860 voice recognition videos

[MikeB]

If a picture paints a thousand words then a video must represent a billion. But not only that it can give you a much better idea how things work than either plain words or static images. This year at CeBIT we captured 2 videos for you.

The first is the proof that the new Garmin 860 SatNav voice recognition works directly from the the box with no voice training, and can even recognise different accents with no difficulty.

Our second video is a proof of concept demonstration of NavNGo iGO 8 software running on an Apple iPhone. The software will actually work on both the iPhone and the iPod Touch as they share the same underlying infrastructure. At the time these were proof of concept systems as Apple had not released the official iPhone SDK. As this has now been released the WiFi GPS solution will definately be certified, but the serial docking port GPS solution is still unclear.

Only because the Iphone has an incomplete bluetooth stack, you get these strange workarounds like a wifi GPS. Why is it so difficult to Apple to make the bluetooth stack complete and let any bluetooth GPS work! Or is it that Apple wants 30% profit of every GPS mouse sold??.
