Motorola intros new in-vehicle mobile computer

Motorola’s new VC6096 is a cross between a netbook and an Internet Tablet. It does support Internet connectivity, Wi-Fi, and can act like a computer in some ways, but it doesn’t have the slick look of a netbook or an Internet Tablet.

It is mostly meant for the car as it comes with integrated GPS with a SiRF Star III GPS receiver. Also, it comes with a 6.5-inch touch screen, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 3.5G GMS HSPDA WWAN connectivity, as well as 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi. The nice thing about all this Internet connectivity options is that you can always be connected wherever you are. Many GPSs don’t offer Internet connectivity yet, so this is something that make its unique from other devices.
