Garmin Nüvifone

No one was expecting it, but Garmin may have just created the iPhone's closest competitor. The GPS gurus have announced the Nüvifone ($TBA; Q3 2008), a new touchscreen device that combines a 3.5G (HSDPA) mobile phone and personal navigator. The Nüvifone has all the standard Garmin GPS features, along with a web-browser, email and messaging apps, Google local search capability, and MP3 and MPEG4/AAC support. It's also got a built-in camera that automatically tags your photos with the exact latitude and longitude of where they were taken.
