    Dell to Add GPS to Mini 10
    [​IMG]
    Dell today announced that it will add its Dell Wireless 700 location solution to the Inspiron Mini 10 netbook next week. The solution will use a combination of software and hardware to allow for GPS and Wi-Fi positioning. The hardware comes in the form of an internal GPS card with built-in Wi-Fi positioning. The software is CoPilot navigation software which can provide turn-by-turn directions, 2D/3D maps, trip optimization, and other features.
    For a full rundown of the Dell Wireless 700 location solution, please see the full post in Dell's community forum.

    Well sounds dangerous unless you're using a car mount.
