Update: Google's has changed the Terms of Service for Chrome.
Everyone is talking about the new Google's browser, coined Chrome. and the idea of launching a comic book to explain the advantages of Chrome a day before the launch is absolutely brilliant, and surely must be responsible for some of the hype generated along.
Since there is no Mac version available yet, I still haven't try it, but after reading some posts today, I'm glad I haven't:
In summary, I will wait for the version 1.1 of the browser, and for a change in the Terms of Service before trying it.

The new Blaukpunkt's TravelPilot 700 is a beast: it features an integrated camera that displays realtime video with navigation overlays on their screen, traffic sign recognition, TV via DVB-T (while you are not driving), voice control, web and emails via wi-fi, traffic information which re-routes to avoid traffic congestions and the (already) usual bluetooth integration with your cellphone. Additionally, it comes with a speed camera warning, which I'm not sure if it's legal in the UE.
Watch the video below and see for yourself:
This is a all new ball game, it's time for TomTom, Garmin and such to speed up development and close the gap.
Note: I'm not affiliate with Blaukpunkt, I'm just looking for cutting edge technology.
