Motorola-powered AmeriGo GPS includes 128 MB of memory, while Linea LX PDA runs Linux with all standard hardware features.
Royal is introducing two devices powered by the i.MXL applications processor from Motorola. The i.MX applications processors feature enhanced Smart Speed technology allegedly providing long battery life for power-hungry applications such as GPS and MP3 playback.
The AmeriGo GPS Navigation System is a fully portable automobile GPS device. Unlike in-dash factory-direct GPS systems, it can be moved easily from vehicle to vehicle. The AmeriGo includes 128 MB of storage and Pharos GPS Software with turn-by-turn voice prompted directions. The AmeriGo offers six screen variations, favourite destination storage and a one-touch Home key and comes with four U.S. map CDs, windshield and AC vent mountings, an AC adapter and USB cable.
The Linea LX PDA includes 64MB of memory, 32MB flash ROM, a digital voice recorder, MP3 player, a snap-on keyboard, USB connectivity, supports both the portrait and landscape mode, and has an SD slot. The Linea LX also comes with a desktop personal information manager (PIM) and Microsoft Outlook synchronization for email on-the-go. In addition to the claimed power performance advantages of the i.MXL, the Linea LX has an optional, snap-on CF card expansion adapter containing a second lithium-ion rechargeable battery, effectively doubling the running time of the device.
The AmeriGo GPS Navigation System and Linea LX are expected to be available in the Spring of 2004 with an MSRP of $899 USD and $399 USD respectively.
