Xwaves is planning to release the latest version of xGPS (v1.2) which will turn your iPhone into a True GPS device by bringing turn-by-turn voice navigation.
xGPS (v1.1.0-1) is already available via Cydia which provides real-time GPS navigation, but it does not have voice instructions.
xGPS v1.2 is expected to be released at the end of the month (and maybe as early as Feb 20) and you should be able to install it via Cydia on a jailbroken iPhone.

Sony Launches 'World's Lightest' 8-Inch Notebook


Sony on Wednesday introduced a subnotebook that it touts as "the world's lightest 8-inch notebook."

Dubbed the VAIO Lifestyle PC, the subnotebook weighs 1.4 pounds and is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket.

The device sports an 8-inch, 1,600-by-768-pixel display. Other features include a 3G modem, 802.11N Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and turn-by-turn GPS.

The VAIO Lifestyle PC also features an instant-on mode called Xcross Media. In this virtual environment, users can instantly access a Web browser, music, video and photos — without booting into the OS. The subnotebook ships with Windows Vista.

Sony said the keyboard was engineered to provide the feel of a full-size keyboard, with plenty of spacing between keys to reduce typing mistakes.

The battery will reportedly last four hours, according to Sony. There's also an option to purchase a higher-capacity battery, which will last eight hours, Sony said.

Considering the device's size, some might feel compelled to call the VAIO Lifestyle PC a netbook. However, Sony avoided that label. And the company's correct in doing that: With a $900 price tag and GPS, the subnotebook doesn't appear to fit in with the netbook category.

Sony also said the "netbook" label was inappropriate because the device doesn't require an internet connection for data access. Because it has a 3G modem, all it needs is a connection to Verizon's mobile network.

The subnotebook begins shipping February.

Polar FT80 Fitness Training Computer is more than just a watch



This Polar FT80. It's an intelligent training computer you wear on your wrist. With its built-in heart monitor, it can tell how you're tolerating exercise, and when you attach the optional G1 GPS module, it figures in your speed and distance traveled. We like its strength recovery capability, telling you when you're ready for more exercise after a rest.

This has got to be one of the coolest-looking watches ever — we thought it was a design concept at first. But be sure you see it in your own hands before buying, because we've seen a comment noting its dim display and too-basic GPS functions. With the G1 GPS sensor, it's $429.95; without, it's $329.95.
