Asus R700 GPS unit gets official

We first got to know the Asus R300 and R700 GPS units back in September, but now Asus is finally ready to spill the rest of the sordid details on its well-specced R700 model. The Asus R700 runs a 4.3-inch touchscreen, with RDS / TMC traffic info, a hands-free Bluetooth kit, microSD port and all the trimmings inherent in Windows CE 5.0 — including a lovable collection of media playback codecs. There’s text-to-speech built in for reading street names, but the

real twist comes from the ability to vocalize your text messages by Bluetooth. that model will be hitting Europe in December with a set of 3D maps and iGO 8 software for 400-500 Euro ($586-$732 US).
