Dear Friends,
I have heard that Sony Ericsson is going to launch a new GPS Accessory. This accessory will be different from HGE 100 in the sense that it doesn't have any wires. No not Bluetooth. You have to insert it like you insert your charger or headphone but it won't have any wire. I hope you are understanding. It will work with new Google Mobile Maps. It will be short and sweet. Can you tell me the launch date ?

here you can read that there might not be a GPS phone but GPS accessory would be launched. anyway, i heard that the new portfolio would be announced in January.

so if I understand correctly, you have picked up on a rumour and your asking for a definite launch date? even when its announced we only have a broad date range given for when things are available
this would have been better to be kept in the rumour thread

let's see. By the way SO703i has already built-in GPS.

but yes, the accessory would look more or less like the accessory made for i-phone.
