Gaming goodness

But what about that d-pad? Why have a d-pad on what is essentially a Sat Nav system? It’s for the games! Yep, the Navigator Combo is also a fully fledged games console that comes pre-loaded with 5 games and has a choice of a further 90 available for download, all taking advantage of the Navigator Combo’s built in NES emulator. You can’t really knock that now can you?

With the possible demise of the Gizmondo, the Navigator Combo has set itself up nicely in the niche of navigation/entertainment systems and whilst it’s not possible to play video or games whilst using the navigation software, it’s an ideal solution to those looking for some entertainment before having to find their way. Tomorrow I’m off into London so the Navigator Combo’s games and films would come in very handy on the hour long train journey before helping me find where I need to be.

This little unit is packed with other smart features such as a combined SD/MMC slot, allowing you to use it as a card dump for your digital photos and with the built in microphone you can even use it as a voice recorder. Perhaps the Navigator Combo is a glimpse of the future of handheld devices that take everything that all the other devices do and mix it into one unit? We’re not quite there yet but that day can’t be far off.

Errr… how come no C64 emulator on it?
Thats actually not a bad bit of kit by the looks of it, the Commodore name puts me off tho….
I'll ignore the commode name - but I really can't believe there isn't a C64 emulator included?
whoever owns the rights to the Commodore name probably doesnæt have the rights to any of the IP or anything like that. Don't know if that would be a reason, but it might be :)
Yet they own the rights to emulate the Nintendo…?
