Leadertone GPS3000
The Chinese company Leadertone today said it would set foot in the US with its new GPS3000 receiver. In addition to creating a minimalist design that hides physical controls behind a 3.5-inch touchscreen, the company hopes to distinguish its new mapping unit through media features: MP3, WAV, and WMA music is supported alongside AVI and Windows Media videos and several common photo formats. Battery life is promised as longer than average at four hours. Leadertone also claims to have taken obsolesence into account and has provided a connection for an external GPS receiver should the built-in, -159dBM receiver fail or see an replacement in the future. Information about a price and ship date should follow the GPS3000's presence at CES next week. [Via NaviGadget]
