Co-Pilot: Turn-by-Turn GPS For Android

Topic: Hot Gadgets

Google Maps is a cool app and all, but it isn't nearly as convenient (or as safe) as having an actual turn-by-turn satellite navigation application. For a while now, we Android fans have been left in the cold when it comes to good navigation apps, but our day has finally arrived. The CoPilot Live application from CoPilot launches today.

With CoPilot Live you get turn-by-turn voice navigation with online location mapping and your choice of either 2D or 3D guidance views. CoPilot can optimize your trip to find the most efficient route, and it also has an instant detour feature in case of traffic or unexpected closures. If you like what you hear, you can download CoPilot Live from the Android Marketplace today. It costs £25.99 in the U.K and Ireland, and £59.99 in Europe.

Asus EEE Keyboard Coming in August

Topic: Hot Gadgets

Remember that hot little Asus EEE Keyboard we mentioned a month back as coming in June? Well, we've got some bad news. It's not hitting stores until the end of August.

The EEE Keyboard was originally set to hit stores around...well, now. However, Asus is apparently having some trouble figuring out just how to market their unique gadget. Unlike a netbook, the EEE Keyboard doesn't really sell itself. It's looks beautifully cyberpunk, and it's got some pretty solid hardware under the hood (32 GB SSD, 5” touchscreen, and the ability to stream HD content wirelessly to your TV) but it doesn't really fill a clear niche.

Motorola Releases Endeavor HX1 Headset

Topic: Hot Gadgets

One of the ever-present problems with a Bluetooth headset is having an intelligible conversation with someone in a noise-intensive area. When you're in the midst of, say, a violent thunderstorm, the noise pollution around you has a nasty tendency to distort or drown out your voice. Motorola looks to have jumped that particular hurdle with the Endeavor HX1, thanks to its true bone conduction technology.

The Endeavor has a one-touch activated stealth mode. Pressing it turns on the bone-conduction technology, which uses an ear sensor to seal off outside noise. The sensor then measures your vocal vibrations and then translates them into clear speech. Motorola promises that, no matter how loud your surroundings are, you will be heard.
