Japan has seen the release of the newest Panasonic GPS device, the CN-SG500.

The CN-SG500 is also known as the “Tabi Nabi” and can be used as a slightly bulky looking handheld GPS unit rather than being vehicle mounted. It comes with a 5″ touch screen and can store Travel Advisor guides providing a good source of travel information on the go. The CN-SG500 also includes a 2MP camera in it’s specification list.

UK carrier O2 have apparently confirmed the much circulated rumour that the Dell Streak handset will recieve the anticipated Android 2.1 update tomorrow on the network.

O2 previously announced that release of the update would be early September and Engadget have confirmed with O2 who have now said that the update is to be rolled out on the 1st or 2nd of September which is obviously great news for Dell Streak owners.

There is still no news on a date for the release of Froyo (2.2 version of Google Android OS) but, at lease Eclair (2.1) is on it’s way at last, for UK owners at least.

In a deal worth a whopping $7.68bn (£5bn), leading  processor manufacturer Intel have agreed to purchase security software specialists McAfee.

Intel intend using the McAfee side of their future business to create built-in security features, not only in the chips they create for PC’s and servers but, also for the micro processors it makes for items such as mobile (cell) phones and portable computers. Intel are said to have paid 60% more per share than each share was valued at market price to take over McAfee. The market price then rose dramatically once the takeover was announced to around 58% above what it was, almost matching the amount that Intel are set to pay for McAfee.

Intel president Paul Otellini said the deal “elevates focus on security on par with energy-efficient performance and connectivity”.
