New SONY gps navigation shown at CES'08 - so slow!

I saw this new gps device on the CES in Vegas and could not believe how tremendously slow the software is! Compared to the currently offered SONY GPS devices it feels like five steps back... - I hope this is early beta!

i´m afraid that´s not possible. it can only be done through a memory stick. the thing is that it is not possible to access to the internal memory of the unit, which it is occupied entirely by the maps and points of interest. the only free memory is dedicaded to the address, and phone book...also, i don´t think that the possibility of having access to the internal memory is going to be available in the next software update...also, the internal memory is not big. less than 1gig...

anyone know how to upload music onto th nvu-94t?

I type in destinations and this thing predicts my choice before I'm even done typing. This is a really poor representation of the Nav U.

you are indoors dude... This model is pretty fast.

I just copped a 73 today. Its pretty fast for me. I dont know why everyone is so fussy about it. It literally took as long as it would for me to navigate through the screens. The device itself is very quick. This shit is bogged down because it's inside. It shouldnt and doesnt take that long to switch screens after typing in your address/destination.

slow because they are indoors, i'm surprised it worked

I hope the firmware 3.0 correct all this problems. But it took the guy almost two mins to get the address in(slow typist, I know).
