Well, it looks like iPod touch users pondering the somewhat pricey (and still unfulfilled) proposition offered by TomTom’s Car Kit now finally have another option to consider, as Dual Electronics has announced a navigation cradle of its own that’s aimed solely at Apple’s GPS-less handheld. While it’s not quite as sleek as TomTom’s unit, Dual’s new XGPS300 rig does boast a few decided advantages, including a cradle that also doubles as a rechargeable battery for some added juice when you’re out and about and, most importantly, a free NavAtlas navigation app, which will apparently only work with Dual’s cradle (sorry, no mix-and-matching here). You’ll also get a built-in speaker, a mini USB port for charging and, of course, an adjustable windshield mount for in-car use.

It may not look quite as sleek as the LG X300 netbook we spotted at CES last month (at least in these pictures), but LG’s new (and as yet unannounced) X20 model has just passed through the FCC, which likely means we’ll be hearing plenty more about it soon. Nothing too special with the specs, as you might expect, which include a 10.1-inch, 1366 x 768 display, an Atom N450 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, a 4-cell battery, and built-in HSPA 3G, among other standard fare

It’s not quite as sleek as some homebrew-minded handhelds, or as full-featured as some others , but anything that hearkens back to the days when videos games were measured in bits gets a few points in our book, and this new Neo Slim 3000 looks to have things well covered on that front. While complete details are still a bit light, this one is said to pack a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 display, 2GB of built-in memory, an SD card slot for expansion, a full range of PMP features and, most importantly, support for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy Advance emulation right out of the box — with other options presumably also available depending on the device’s capabilities. Still no word on a price just yet, but the folks at Neoflash say this one is “coming soon.” [Via Console-Hacking.com , thanks Craig] Filed under: Gaming , Handhelds Neo Slim 3000 handheld promises game emulation and more originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:34:00 EST
