Full FeedMotorola intros new in-vehicle mobile computer
Motorola’s new VC6096 is a cross between a netbook and an Internet Tablet. It does support Internet connectivity, Wi-Fi, and can act like a computer in some ways, but it doesn’t have the slick look of a netbook or an Internet Tablet.
It is mostly meant for the car as it comes with integrated GPS with a SiRF Star III GPS receiver. Also, it comes with a 6.5-inch touch screen, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 3.5G GMS HSPDA WWAN connectivity, as well as 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi. The nice thing about all this Internet connectivity options is that you can always be connected wherever you are. Many GPSs don’t offer Internet connectivity yet, so this is something that make its unique from other devices.
Motorola doesn’t say whether or not it offers video playback, but if does, that would be a great feature because it already comes with a nice, big screen. Furthermore, it comes with Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, SD expansion, built-in microphone and speakers, 128MB of RAM, 256MB flash, a 624Mhz processor, and a full QWERTY keyboard.
It does come with some pretty nice specs, however, I think it would be better if it came with a full OS, more RAM, and a better overall design.
