V7 Intros Budget GPS Units

Ingram Micro brand V7 has announced its NAV730 and NAV740 portable navigation systems, designed for value-conscious consumers who are just looking to find their way, not invest in a multimedia extravaganza of functions they don’t need and will never use.

“The ultra-slim NAV730 and NAV740 are perfect solutions for consumers as well as commercial fleets who demand a feature-rich product at a value price point,” said Ingram Micro VP and general manager for the V7 Private Label Group, Rainer Kozlik, in a statement. “These products are part of V7’s commitment to offer innovative, reliable products at an attractive price-performance ratio to resellers worldwide.”

The NAV730 sports a 3.5-inch 320 by 240-pixel LCD touchscreen display, while the NAV740 steps up to a 4.3-inch 480 by 272-pixel touchscreen. Both units feature Windows CE, 400 MHz Samsung 2440 CPUs, USB output, SD card-based expandable storage and pre-loaded maps of the United Stats (with additional maps of Europe, Canada, and Brazil available on SD Cards, along with enhanced U.S. maps). The units feature text-to-speech voice navigation capability, and even do a little bit of that portable media player schtick: they’ll handle MP3, WMA, OGG, MPEG4, AVI, WMV, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF media.

The NAV730 carries a suggested retail price of $199, while the NAV740 goes for $299.

The Galaxy S25 could add a new feature that’s perfect for mobile gaming

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is set to blow fans away with its impressive specs, and the latest leak just lends more credence to those rumors. According to trusted leaker Jukanlosreve, Samsung is working on a "game mode" that will improve performance without generating a tremendous amount of excess heat.

Jukanlosreve speculates the game mode feature will utilize the Qualcomm Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0 (AFME 2.0), which is a technology that can double the frame rate in games without increasing its power usage. That means a smoother gaming experience without extra heat or a noticeable impact on battery life. Qualcomm writes that AFME 2.0 "provides realistic detail by generating high-quality scenes, doubling the frame rate while maintaining the same power consumption."
