Some exciting news from Garmin - available later in 2008 (Q3), look for the Garmin nuvifone! With a 3.5" touch screen, and similar in shape to an iPhone, thie nuvifone will be the ultimate gadget, with 3.5G internet connectivity, Bluetooth, wi-fi, GPS with turn-by-turn directions (duh!), an internet browser, multimedia capability, camera, email access, etc. The next step is for Garmin to choose a carrier. No longer will one have to compromise between using their phone and using GPS - the Garmin nuviphone will do it all! I wonder what the battery life will be on this baby...
Lots of new stuff announced:

Garmin Forerunner 405 - With it's sleek new look, the Forerunner 405 is the new black. Or green.

So there are now pictures circulating of Garmin's new Colorado series handheld units. Looks like Garmin's finally added the ability to display aerial photography, and possibly even more detailed maps, on a rugged handheld GPS receiver. Also, notice the wheel on top - could this be the end of buttons? Maybe even a touch-screen handheld? We'll be sure to post information as it comes out. Expect to see new units sometime in the spring of 2008. If you need something sooner, get a high-end GPSMAP 60CSx with a $50 mail-in rebate through December 31st!
