Jensen NVX3000PC announced

Jensen has just announced the NVX300PC “Anywhere” UPMC which features GPS navigation, a 7-inch touch screen (800×480,) 30GB hard drive, and 256MB of RAM. This UPMC comes with a car mount kit, remote control, and a ton more features making this the first UPMC in the US to specifically target the automobile market.

There’s not an awful lot of information about this device yet (even the Jensen website fails to provide any,) but rumors suggest a price point around $1500, which seems like a high price to pay for this sort of specification. It seems to be a solid looking piece of kit, but that’s a lot of money.

Most UMPCs are designed to be hand held devices, but this one is aimed at the car driver. If it’s as intricate and difficult to use as some of the other Jensen models, I see a few law suits in the offing. It’s bad enough getting advice from the back seat without getting it from the dashboard at the same time. As soon as a definite release date is confirmed, we will be covering this one in more detail. For now, what little information there is, is available here.

You heard it here first.
