All weather Satsports GPS aims to be the GPS for all sports, also introduces WinMo and Android apps
These days if you’re introducing a GPS, you’ve got to have a hook. Satsports is bringing its Satsports GPS to North America and wants it to be the GPS for all sports. It runs Windows CE 5.0, has an internal speaker, some built in memory with 256MB or storage, Micro SD slot for real storage, weighs 125g, and has a 2.7-inch QVGA screen (320 x 240). This GPS also has apps made for golfers, runners, street nav, and skiing.
What do these apps do? “Pocket Caddy” lets you see golf courses in a fly over mode so you can see the hole before you hit the ball. It will even tell you yardages so you can figure out how hard to swing. You can also record data like what kind of club you used so you can learn from your mistakes.
“Satski” gives you ski maps, real time data on speed, and rescue services data. “Satsports Log” will probably have the most wide appeal as it it is for cyclers, runners, and hikers. You can find out altitude, distance, and speed. Data for both Satsports Log and Satski are sycnable to your computer.

For example, you won’t find Phil Liggett commenting on Levi Leipheimer’s slippers. Twitter is the perfect venue more »
Best of Interbike 2008
Interbike, USA’s biggest bicycle industry trade show was held last week in Las Vegas, NV. Here, brands show off their latest offerings for the upcoming 2009 season. While many argue this show’s timing is all wrong as many 2009 model year bikes are already in dealer showrooms and the rest may be on the water in transit, it is the show where big introductions are usually made.
This year’s show had some growing themes. Themes like 29″ mountain bikes are here to stay. Major brands are keeping a close eye on commuting bicycles as the nations gas prices escalate. The final theme I’ll touch is one they didn’t want to publicize at the show, but it is something you should know.
Hit the jump to see ‘em…
