Motorola Taps High Tier With Connected PNDs - 2010-03-05 14:38:4. Libertyville, Ill. - Motorola began shipping the industry's first connected PNDs (portable navigation devices) to use the voice channels of Bluetooth-connected cellphones to stream local search results and other information, including weather, gas prices and news. All three touchscreen models are also the company's first PNDs with voice control, including voice-enabled online search, said category management senior director David Harris. The top model is the company's first with voice entry of destination. The new models are the company's first PNDs with live-traffic service, which is available from Navteq over FM RDS broadcasts, he added. An RDS receiver is embedded in two models and, for the third model, is embedded in an optional car kit.
Traffic service is included in the purchase price. Other companies' connected PNDs feature embedded cellular-data modems that require a cellular-data plan, he noted. MotoExtras online services are free for 90 days and cost $49/year after that. Nokia Terminal Mode In-Car Infotainment.
