Clarion also announced the N.I.C.E. 430 GPS Navigation System

With a suggested retail price of $499, the N.I.C.E. 430 will face some still competition from the likes of Garmin, Magellan, and TomTom. The 430’s specs are more or less what you’d expect:

• 4.3-inch TFT Color monitor Touch panel control with Resistive film and sunlight protection
• Built-in Bluetooth 2.0 Interface for Handsfree Operation
• Coverage of entire USA and Canada
• 3 Million Points of Interest with icons
• 1GB Flash Memory
• SiRF GPS III Module with 20-channel GPS receiver
• SD/MMC for MP3/WMA Play Back
• Picture viewer (JPEG)
• 3.5mm external headphone connector
• Built-in loudspeaker
• Rechargeable Battery with up to 4.5 hours of operation
• Optional RDS-TMC for traffic information
• 2D and 3D map view
  

Like many new devices, the Clarion N.I.C.E. runs on the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 core version, and sports a 400MHz CPU. Available sometime this quarter.
