I was at a Best Buy today and I saw that the Sony Galaxy Players are now available and do have GPS. I was thinking that with CoPilot for Android and a suitable windshield mount, these might make a decent automobile navigator. Plus it would serve as an MP3 player, wifi browser, etc.

I actually sort of wish that Garmin would take a look at this and offer their very own Android device with a wifi browser, MP3, camera, etc. Granted, the Nuvifone and Garminfone were not overwhelmingly successful, but some of their newest 2012 Nuvis aren't really that far from this anyway.

You might want to take a look at the Vizio 8" tablet. The price has dropped to $190 at Walmart, Costco and Samsclub.
Don't expect a true Garmin Andoid Device anytime soon

Other than Navigon Mobil Navigator purchased by Garmin, Don't expect a true Garmin Nuvi type Android app anytime soon.
