Mio MiBuddy to run on Android

GPS navigation system maker Mio is planning for a new lineup of device called Mio MiBuddy. The rumor is that these devices will come with Google�s Android OS as soon as 2010. What�s even better is that these GPS navigation systems will be very capable and carry the necessary components for WiFi, Bluetooth, and even WiMax � since Android makes it so easy for manufacturers to utilize those features.

Picture above is a Navman Spirit � from the same company � since we have no image of MiBuddy available at this time but it sounds like they will be similar, carrying a 4.7? touchscreen with the addition of a slide out keyboard, and a windshield mount for in vehicle use of course.

Even though there won�t be cellular network modules in Mio MiBuddy it sounds like the device can be used for VoIP with its WiFi and WiMax connectivity. No details about pricing just yet�
