Garmin has just rolled out a couple of new handheld GPS navigators
- the Dakota 10 and Dakota 20 which will feature a high-sensitivity
GPS receiver, worldwide basemap and color touchscreen display, all
crammed into a compact, waterproof device that is able to last up

Garmin's already firmly entrenched in the GPS for outdoorspeople

Mio announces Moov M300 and M400
Mio is back with a couple more GPS navigation systems - the Moov
M300 and M400. The former is obviously the smaller among the two,
where it will be equipped with a 3.5" display at 320 x 240
resolution, while the larger M400 hosts a 4.3" display at a
resolution of 480 x 272. We'd strongly recommend the latter since
it comes with maps from 23 Western European countries, whereas the
M300 has only a map of France. The Mio Moov M300 and M400 will
retail for €99 and €149, respectively. Each purchase will
be equipped with speed radar locations and a year's worth of free
upgrades. Permalink: Mio ...

Apple announces 2TB Time Capsule
Apple has upped the ante for its Time Capsule by doubling the
storage size to 2TB, compared to the previous model which maxed out
at half that amount. The 2TB Time Capsule will sit pretty at the
top of the Apple heap for $500, while the 1TB model is going for
$300 - the previous price point of the 500GB model. Any takers?
