Check out the Sanyo Gorilla Navigation Device which features the first portable car navigation device internally equipped with a terrestrial digital tuner (Seg-12 + Seg-1), enhancing portability and eliminating the need for unsightly wires normally required to connect a separate external tuner.

The new Gorilla is designed to double as a terrestrial digital television inside the home or elsewhere. It is also equipped with a 30GB HDD and automatically converts from its Seg-12 tuner, used when image quality is good – even reproducing high-definition programs at standard quality – to a Seg-1 tuner in locations where the signal is weak, and back again, maximizing digital broadcast reception.

Other features include an expansive 8-inch touch-screen TFT-LCD and a resolution of 336,960 pixels. It measures just 38mm in thickness, 121mm in height and 206.8mm in width, weighing in at just 950 grams.

The company plans initial production of 5,000 units, and will sell the Gorilla NV-HD880FT at a suggested retail price of 225,750 yen.
