IOPS Neo N7 GPS System
Device maker IOPS has previewed the Neo N7, its first step into the GPS field. The Korean firm hopes to appeal to frequent long-distance drivers through a system which is both quick and powerful: in an unusual move, the N7 is based on a dual-core processor that will prevent the system from bogging down in its advanced 3D mode with on-map buildings or while decoding videos. The 7-inch touchscreen is further used for advanced control of MP3 music, photos, and as an optional viewer for Office documents and rear-view parking cameras. An SD card reader is used to load maps and media. IOPS does not list a price but plans to ship the Neo N7 in February. [via NaviGadget]
