Try driving around with this thing for a month- your life will be forever changed. Of course, you will probably get beat up by whoever it is that your avoiding.

First off, this device is South Korea only. I had to preface with that to save any disappointment experienced after reading what all the iriver NV can do.

It’s billed as a multimedia navigation system and by far the most featured packed. The design is just sic. The 7″, 800 x 480 screen is just sic. It supports every video and audio format - that’s just sic. Like FM music? No problem, this sic device has it. The jog dial has an embedded OLED screen to indicate function and directional icons when in navigation mode. My god that’s sic! Last but not least, the slick sic remote makes it easier than ever to push buttons in style.

German magazine Focus claims Apple is secretly developing a navigation system to end all navigation systems for Mercedes Benz. This “iNav” (hey, why not?) will supposedly debut in 2009 Benzies. No source was provided or details aside from the system being a Benzie exclusive for 6 months.

Since this is just a rumor, lets speculate shall we? If Apple were to make an “iNav”, it’s probable they’d team up with a luxury auto maker because only they would have the customer base to spend money on premium system. However, this leads to some interesting questions. Will it interface with iPhone? How will future iPods work with it? Will the core of the mapping system come from Google Maps? Is it going to be some crazy multi-touchscreen? Last but not least, will it tell me why I was so let down by the season finale of Heroes?
