While we’re seeing more Linux-powered mobile phones, not a single such device brought the navigation with it. Truth to be told, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is pushing its 770 and N800 Internet Tablets with navigation apps, but those two devices are not mobile phones.
Finally, China-based Tranzda showed its PM328, a thin (16 mm) smartphone with integrated GPS navigation. The device itself runs Tranzda’s “Newplus” software on top of the Linux core, and for navigation it uses u-blox’s navigation app. In terms of connectivity, the PM328 supports Bluetooth and USB connections.
The new device is now in China, and it is not yet know whether it will be available in the western world. (via: LinuxDevices)
