Guide Dog: GPS navigation, MS Office and parking sensor?

We came across this product on website of a company which will be attending CES 2007 in Las Vegas in January. The product is called Guide Dog and it does various useful things in a super slim body that would make the iPod Nano jealous.

According to the manufacturer - Power Digital Card - Guide Dog is the world’s first CE device featuring a 4 TFT LCD super bright touch screen, the world’s first navigation kit with a built-in antenna, the world’s first navigation device with 2D/3D gaming, and the world’s thinnest GPS device. We’re not sure if these claims are true, but whatever it is, it looks sexy.

In addition to providing GPS navigation, Guide Dog also supports PSD (Personal Storage Disc), a new technology of memory device, along with traditional memory cards such as MMC, MMCplus, and SD.

Apparently it also functions as a PC allowing for internet browsing, email access, MS Office functions, and IP Phone. You can also buy external accessories to turn your Guide Dog into DVB-T receiver, Parking Sensor (what?), Bluetooth (questionable), GPRS, UART and Handsfree. OK, it sounds made up. We’re contacting the manufacturer!
