Seamless WiFi S-Gen UMPC gets Garmin GPS

08.15.08

It may have been pretty quiet from Seamless WiFi since we first saw their S-XGen UMPC back in for the UMPC - now renamed the S-Gen - and have settled on Garmin’s Mobile XT app.

The S-Gen is a combination UMPC, phone, MP3 player and, courtesy of Garmin, navigation device.  The Mobile XT software will bring turn-by-turn directions, voice prompts and points-of-interest to the handheld, together with Google Local search capability.

Though the name has been tweaked, it doesn’t look like the specs of the S-Gen are much altered from .  Under the hood lurks an Intel PXA270 Xscale 520MHz processor with a 20GB HDD and WiFi.  RAM looks to have been doubled - to 256MB - going by recent reports, and the cellular connectivity is given as triband GSM/EDGE/CDMA.  The display is a 4.25-inch 470 x 270 unit with transflective backlighting.  Unlike other UMPCs, the S-Gen runs Windows CE 5.0.

Availability is still uncertain, though you can expect to pay a frankly ridiculous $1,395.
