Besides Android as a novelty, the other exciting aspect of this car navigation system is its make which makes it a good induction into the dashboard of a low-priced vehicle. Featuring a 800 x 480 resolution 7-inch screen, the navigation system allows the user to surf the web, write and receive SMSs and to play out audio books. Using 3G Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connectivity the system also features a hard disk drive, an SD card slot for storage.
