Well, maybe not NES (it’s hard to say for sure), but at least classic 8-bit video games. Kinwei Technologies, a Chinese company, has trotted out its KW-GM4306TG GPS device which not only takes you door to door, but also lets you play video games while you drive.
The system features a 4.3-inch LCD, Windows CE.Net, 64MB SDRAM and 256MB Flash memory, and support for hands-free communication. No word yet on price or availability.
Like the Google Maps/BMW Assist integration I noted earlier, this is another example of viewing the GPS is a platform, rather than a single-purpose information appliance. When the GPS is a platform for all kinds of computing in your car, the applications it can be put to expand greatly.
