Garmin announced today that select Samsung mobile phones will be integrated with its turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation.
The Garmin navigation software is on a plug-and-play microSD card. Once users load the card into the phone, the software automatically installs. Customers can use their phone to receive voice-prompted, turn-by-turn directions. A 3D moving map on the phone’s display shows users exactly where they are, and if a turn is missed along the way, Samsung Mobile Navigator automatically calculates a new route. Consumers can key in specific street addresses or search millions of points of interest (POI) - like hotels, restaurants, shopping, and tourist attractions. Users can also dial the POI’s phone number automatically for reservations, hours of operation, or other information.
Consumers using Samsung Mobile Navigator can also access Garmin Online, a free and subscription based service that offers dynamic content such as traffic, weather forecasts and safety cameras. Garmin Online content varies by […]

Plantronics just announced their new Discovery 925 earpiece which breaks away from the utilitarian design of most Bluetooth ear pieces and injects some style into the hardware — similar to the MotoPure H12 headset. The Discovery 925 weighs roughly 9 ounces, and sits in the ear without a loop that wraps around the back. Also included is a matching carrying case that doubles as a DC charging dock for juice on the go.

The long design of the Discovery 925 not only allows for a more powerful antenna but an extended microphone that picks up sound more clearly. The hardware also has DSP technologies that include noise cancellation and voice clarification. Battery life is around 5 hours and the carrying case holds an extra 5 hour charge. The Plantronics Discovery 925 is expected to come in pink, gold and black colors, and will hit stores in April for $150.

Last year we came across the Rotoflexion massaging backpack, but alas it was only a concept device. However, someone out there was enterprising enough to turn the idea into reality with the Airo—a backpack that can apply massage, vibration, and relaxing heat to sore shoulder and back muscles. Unfortunately, it appears that they failed to make the device into a functional backpack, which seems like a missed opportunity to me. After all, if I am going to walk around looking like a freakin’ turtle, I should at least be able to store my books in the thing. [Discovery via BookofJoe via DVICE]
