Mio C317 GPS/media player
Global electronics maker Mio has launched its latest GPS unit, the C317, in South Korea. Though primarily intended for 2D and 3D GPS navigation using a SiRFstar III receiver, it also has a DMB TV tuner, which (through picture-in-picture) can be used to watch shows even while the navigation software is in use. The unit has a 4.3-inch touchscreen, and stores map data on 256MB of internal memory, or more through SD cards. A points-of-interest search engine can locate places based on the first few characters of a name. Shoppers can now buy the 317 for 349,000 won, or $375 US. [via AVING]
