Mio to use Microsoft’s WiENR in next-gen GPS devices
Mio will be one of the first manufacturers to bring WiENR devices to market. Those devices are scheduled to ship sometime in 2009 and will allow consumers to access online services like Live Search and Live Maps by using connections from Bluetooth phones and other data-enabled devices. The WiENR system will also make use of MSN Direct technology for real-time traffic, fuel-price, weather, and POI information.
