Fujitsu Siemens
unveiled the co-developed Pocket LOOX N100 to the U.S. market at the 2007
International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This light, compact, and ultra-portable industry first
redefines the personal navigation device (PND) product category by offering a first-rate navigation
experience with new on-the-go features and functionality.
Designed for dynamic lifestyles – business people, over-scheduled soccer moms, anyone on
the go – the Pocket LOOX measures 0.6 inches (16mm) thin and weighs 3.9 ounces (110 grams),
making it the thinnest and smallest multifunctional PND available. This pocket-sized device delivers
heavyweight performance in a featherweight package as the perfect travel companion.
Featuring the largest display in its class, the Pocket LOOX 2.8 inch color screen is comparable
to its heftier predecessors. The device, powered by a five-hour rechargeable lithium-ion battery, also
sports a built-in MP3 player, video player, photo viewer and computer games in a trendy design that
can hang off a keychain. The Pocket LOOX guarantees one-click operation; directed by NAVIGON’s
customized MobileNavigator (MN) Premium software featuring touch screen capabilities and a
multilingual user interface.
The Pocket LOOX is the first U.S. device to leverage the advantages of NAVIGON’s MN
Premium software for rich and easy-to-use, audio-guided navigation. The company’s category-leading
map display provides lane information, point-of-interest searches with branded icons along the route,
speed limit information and warnings, road signs, and GPS auto-follow in tunnels – features typically
reserved for high-end products.
General availability of the Pocket LOOX begins at major U.S. retailers in Spring 2007 for an
MSRP of $499.
