Navigation device maker Garmin International has launched the Nuvi 900T, a personal navigation device that combines navigation features with DVB-H mobile television. The device is being co-branded with 3 Italia and will be available exclusively in Italy. Using the DVB-H format, video TV content is provided exclusively by La3 TV, the mobile digital TV provider of 3 Italia. Each unit comes with a six-month free subscription to La3 TV content as well as access to pay-per-view offerings. 3 Italia's Digital Mobile TV customers can watch news, sports, movies and entertainment content through channels, including Sky, Mediaset, Rai and the "in-house" produced channels La3 Live and La3 Sport. The Nuvi 900T features a bright, 4.3-inch WQVGA colour touchscreen display and has optional travel guide features. Users can also play MP3 audio files, audio books from Audible.com, pre-loaded games and can find and dial phone numbers or Nuvi's points of interest database. The Nuvi 900T also includes Garmin Locate, which answers age-old questions of a driver's current location or the location of his vehicle in a crowded parking lot. The Nuvi 900T comes pre-programmed with highly detailed road maps of Europe. The Nuvi 900T will be available exclusively in Italy in July.
