While we’re seeing more Linux-powered mobile phones, not a single such device brought the navigation with it. Truth to be told, Nokia 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)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
