This is something rather new on this blog. With notebook news, reviews and info the common fare here, it is a breath of fresh air to see some different Acer gadgets. Now, enough of the digression, here it goes: Lordpercy.com reviews the Acer D100 SatNav system. They conclude that, “So it all comes down to price, currently at the time of publishing the Acer D100 is around the £300 mark which pitches it straight at the Go 300 which is quite a challenge. Overall its a good solid if not ground breaking device and if Acer pitch it around £30 cheaper it would be worth strong consideration.”

ZMAng’s Note: Well, I do not use GPS devices and would hardly be able to differentiate between competing brands, but it is rather surprising to see Acer entering niche markets without sufficient preparation (e.g. dated technology).
