Sammy’s not a phone, not yet a tablet Galaxy Note has been stirring up its own excitement pre-CES, with certain accessory partners inadvertently slipping news of an AT&T bow. While we’ve just gotten confirmation that its US debut will indeed pan out, it appears our neighbors to the north might also be getting their maple-soaked mitts on this stylus-equipped monster. As you can see in the Android Market screenshot above, an unlocked version of the handset is denoted (hardy har!) as the Bell Samsung GT-N7000. Does this herald an impending device announcement for the network? Hard to tell, as it could all very well just be a simple system error. But with the recent expansion of that Canadian carrier’s 4G footprint, the Note would undoubtedly make for a very attractive LTE lure.

Nonetheless, there are only two premium voices endorsed and promoted by Garmin. These are the SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer.

SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants is a voice most individuals love. If you are driving alone, you’ll actually benefit from the firm of a good friend who has his eye on the highway and might still make you laugh. The SpongeBob bundle contains enjoyable SpongeBob car icons to liven up your Garmin map screen.

Dora the Explorer

The Dora the Explorer Premium Voice is the candy voice of a true explorer. It is laced with quite a lot of excitement. I personally want this Nickelodeon’s Dora voice to the SpongeBob SquarePants Premium voice.

Premium Voices Price

As you’ll anticipate, the SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer Voices are not free Garmin voices. They come at a price. My research signifies that as at May, 2011, they each sell for $5.99 on the Garmin website.

Custom Garmin Voices

Garmin is aware of that some people abhor the thought of being instructed what to do; they don’t like someone playing the lord over them. If that is you, and you’ve got the time and persistence, Garmin isn’t troubled with you being your individual boss.

The garmin updates web page gives you with device to create your personal voice prompt so no one has to tell you what to do. In case you are snug with a pal or member of the family telling you what to do when driving, you can have them do it for you. You possibly can as effectively get President Obama to do same for you.

Notable among these Garmin Nuvi voices free downloads are Yeti, Elfred the Elf, Squirrely the Squirrel and Dr. Nightmare!

Yeti

It is a primary reality that Yetis do quite a lot of driving. More often than not their trips which are cross-nation in nature see them often charting unfamiliar terrains for which purpose, a GPS machine is a must have.

With the Yeti Voices, Yetis can get pleasure from their drives even more. Nonetheless, in case you are not a Yeti, I cannot suggest that you simply get this voice. I attempted it and will hardly hear the voice prompts accurately; you do not wish to be second-guessing which route to take. Why did you get the GPS device in the first place?

Elfred the Elf

This free Garmin voice is composed to put you in the holiday mood. You’ll take pleasure in Elfred’s nice data and humorousness in your vacation vacation.

Squirrely the Squirrel

Squirrely the Squirrel is a enjoyable and pleasant voice prompt. Nonetheless, just like the Yeti, chances are you’ll find it difficult deciphering all of the voice prompts.

Dr. Nightmare

You should understand how this voice sounds from its name even before you ever hear it. It may be real enjoyable listening to this haunted voice pack. Nevertheless, it is for the brave. I don’t know how courageous your family is however I don’t recommend this voice within the automobile that takes the youngsters to school.

Voices Compatibility

These voices are appropriate with most Garmin Nuvi makes. You can download voices and upload to the 200 Collection up by way of the high-finish 3700 Series. Even the a lot older Nuvi 5000 can be loaded with any of the GPS voices you choose.

Some exceptions exist though. The voices aren’t suitable with the Garmin Nuvi GPS devices listed beneath:

·           Nuvi 300 collection

·           Nuvi 600 series

·           Zumo collection

No matter what country you’re in, you’ll find at least one body-painted sports nut willing to act a fool in the name of fandom.

Even if you’re not lending your melon to science, you can still join in the fun online, and see how you stack up against fans from around the world. So, bust out the body paint, grab your foam fingers and check out the video after the break.

Do you like Android 3.1? Do you like tablets slimmer than the iPad 2? You might want to talk to Samsung in that case, because the Galaxy creator has put those two features together on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 product page and has compounded the excitement with a tweet saying the tablet is mere days away. Now, there’s a bit of conflicting information here, because Samsung’s tweet actually promises Android 3.0, but the Tab 10.1 page clearly lists the harder, better, faster, stronger Android version as the one that comes with the slate. Additionally, our conversations with Samsung at Google I/O earlier this month indicated that the June 8th launch date that we’ve been taking as gospel until recently is a little shakier now, with a slight delay possibly being caused by the desire to install the latest Honeycomb on board. So maybe the tweet’s accurate in saying the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is coming in just a few days, it just depends on your definition of “few.”

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 may ship with Android 3.1 on board, said to be ‘a few days away’ originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 25 May 2011 04:33:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
