Pioneer has just announced that they are going to sell two new indash GPS entertainment systems — AVIC-F900BT and AVIC-F700BT — starting from June 2008 in Europe, USA, Russia, and Australia. Both devices feature a 5.8-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 2GB of onboard memory, multimedia player (MP3, MPEG-4, DivX, WMA), and satellite navigation system with multi-language voice guidance, TMC (real-time traffic information), and TTS. The difference between the two models is that AVIC-F900BT comes with a DVD player, while the AVIC-F700BT sports a CD player. No words on pricing on both.

An excerpt from the press release:

Your phone will automatically register with the NavGate AVIC-F900BT which can store, manage and call up to 300 contacts from three different phones (a privacy feature ensures that only the driver’s phone contacts are displayed). Calls can be made hands-free with conversations clearly relayed through your car’s speakers.

Another product showcased by Sony at its CES 2008’s booth is Nav-U series in-car navigation system. All of the member of this GPS series sports a thin body, a touchscreen color display, up to 2GB of onboard storage, and a Memory Stick media slot. Some of them come with integrated TMC receiver as well, providing real-time traffic report and let you avoid traffic jam.

For the detail, check out some of our posts about Sony Nav-U series In-Car GPS: Sony NV-U51, NV-U71T, NV-U1, NV-U2, and NV-U93T.

Land Rover will debut its new LRX concept car at upcoming Detroit Auto Show event next month. This would be an interesting vehicle for geeks since it comes with an iPhone dock at the center of its console. Heck, if you see the pic below, you will be even able to use the iPhone to turn LRX’s engine ON! Too bad I live far away from Detroit, if you’re nearby, be sure to attend that event when it started and check out this cool concept car yourself.

Caesar 51 is yet another car-shaped cell phone made by some China-based manufacturer. Too bad I only got the image of its front side as I want to see how it looks like from the backside. Like other Chinese handset, information is pretty rough. All I know about Caesar 51 is that it comes with a 2.0-inch display, an integrated 1 megapixel camera module, Bluetooth, TransFlash card slot, pre-loaded games, and built-in media player supporting both MP3 and MP4 media formats. Additionally, it runs on dual-band GSM network (800/1900) and can last for up to 72 hours standby time and 4 hours of talktime.

Caesar 51 cell phone is currently retailed for around $155.

Check this out, a fully-functional cell phone which looks like a miniature of Porsche 911! This wonderful handset, sadly not an official product from Porsche, comes with an integrated 0.8 megapixel camera module, MP3/MP4 player, blacklist function, and TransFlash media card slot. It runs on dual-band GSM network (900/1800Mhz) and can be purchased for $163.92.

Wow, check out this PC case! It comes with a built-in sound engine that can generate a sound similar of a F1 racing car engine. Quite interesting since most manufacturers usually try to develop a case that can minimize the sound of the computer’s hardware. But seems like IN WIN, the company behind this case, doesn’t want to follow that philosophy. Well, since I use my PC as a server and it runs 24/7, this one definitely not for me.

IN WIN recently showcased the “F1 racing car” case during Computex 2007 event in Taipei. Three different colors are available: black, orange, and red.
