CHEAPLY FITTED GPS UNIT?

HI All,

 

So I was just looking online randomly, and one of the sites i visit every so often mealy out of interest because of all the random stuff they sell is a site called dealextreme.com (and by random i really do mean random, from pieces to mod consoles, to memory cards, to spy gear...)

 

Well anyway i was looking and happened to see this:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26917

 

Now i recon that will fit perfectly in the centre display, and would be dead simple to wire up to the power point. Which means reality easily and stress free, and for only £50 you will have satnav and a effectively a mini pc in your car...

 

Thoughts?

someone at my works have used dealextreme, they seem ok but sometimes can have slow deliveries, think it's Hong Kong/ Chinese based company :)

 

some of the items on deal extreme are very very dodgy tho :headhurt:

Well the specs seem ok, it runs iGo which is good. You'd need to get the UK/Europe maps for it though. Also the CPU of it seems awefully slow for running movies etc, so dont be supprised if it cant hack them. For £50 its probably worth a punt, just dont expect too much of it and you will probably be ok ;)

yeah i did think spec seemed a tad lacking but then again the windows is windows ce, so designed for low spec pcs.

 

Im very tempted for £50 to give it a punt. Just wondering if i can hook it up to cameras...

 

ALso thing is i dont really need gps as have my iphone with it lol! but boys and there toys ey!
