Sony Ericsson to Release the HGE-100 GPS Enabler

Perhaps one of the most interesting developments of the year, the Sony Ericsson HGE-100 GPS enabler looks like a potential hit for mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson. This tiny device incorporates a stereo portable handsfree unit with a GPS receiver, allowing users to control calls and music, or to switch to GPS mode when required.

In addition to voice or text guided GPS functionality, the HGE-100 also features a ‘Tracker’ GPS sports application. This handy utility allows users to monitor speed, distance, route, and calorie burn – it even records and analyses the data so you can monitor your progress. Along with the multimedia mp3 playback capabilities of Sony’s latest phones, the ‘Tracker’ package should prove popular with the sports enthusiast.

Due to be released from Q3 2007, the HGE-100 will be compatible with all Java enabled phones from the K800 onwards and should prove to be an attractive option for those looking for a multifunctional GPS solution.
