Garmin Unveils New iQue GPS Pocket PC

By Digital Trends Staff October 31, 2005

Garmin, a maker of GPS devices for various consumer markets, today unveiled the iQue M4, the company’s latest GPS-enabled Pocket PC. This personal digital assistant is expected to be available in December for $699.99.

Garmin said the iQue M4 will come pre-loaded with North American street data of the entire United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. It borrows from its larger StreetPilot siblings for the interface and on-screen navigation options, including touch screen by finger. Voice turn by turn directions to specific, manually entered addresses or pre-selected points of interest from the nearly six million stored in the M4’s database are given.

Other features of the iQue M4 include full PocketPC functionality through Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, 64MB of RAM, a SD/SDIO expansion card slot and wireless networking.

“The M4’s pre-loaded maps and Pocket PC features make it a versatile tool for mobile professionals who need an all-in-one device designed to help them stay ahead of their schedule and on route to their next appointment,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s vice president, marketing, in a statement.

iOS 17.2 just arrived — here’s what’s new in the big iPhone update

Apple Journal app on iPhone 15 Pro.

After two beta versions, Apple has just released iOS 17.2 to the general public. (And along with it, tvOS 17.2 for Apple TV.) This update is a rather big one, as it finally brings Apple’s native Journal app, which was missing from the initial iOS 17 release earlier this year. On top of that, there are more big changes for Apple Music and elsewhere.

The biggest feature of the iOS 17.2 update is the new Journal app. This native app lets users record posts about their day, with the ability to add photos and video, audio clips, and even location data, all of which the user can reflect on at some point in the future. It’s another great step for helping with mental well-being, similar to the moods featured in Apple Health.

Apple may launch new iPads soon, and you should be excited

iPad 2022 first setup.

Apple has been relatively silent since announcing the iPhone 15 series and new Apple Watches in September. However, there are rumors that new iPads could be announced soon. Although Apple didn't announce any new iPads on October 17 as originally suspected, it's evident that new iPads are likely coming at some point in the near future.

As the announcement will almost certainly be made through an online press release, not a full-blown press event, you might think these updates won't be significant. Still, this news could not have come at a better time for those planning to buy an iPad, as the holiday buying season is starting to ramp up.
