Introducing the new i-Blue PS-3200 based on the high performance latest generation of Nemerix chipset. This new chipset offers improved GPS sensitivity, performance and smart power saving features. The i-Blue PS-3200 is fully compatible with PDAs, Laptops, and Palm Handhelds that support Serial Port Protocol (SPP) PocketPCThoughts
Overall, the build quality feels very solid. When I squeeze on the unit, I detect no creaking, flexing, or rattling. . . . I have tested i-Blue using Dell Axim X50v upgraded WM5, Zodiac 1 running the latest Rom patch, and Fujistu laptop running Windows 2000. . . . The following software were tested and they are all compatible Pocket PC - iGuidance V2.1.3, OCN5, Pocket Street, Palm - TomTom4, Mapopolis trial version,When you take a paired device away from i-Blue, i-Blue will go into sleep mode automatically (blue LED blinking). As soon as you bring the device back, i-Blue will wake and orange GPS light will turn on. Some may wonder if i-Blue will wake up by any Bluetooth device. The answer is "No". Only paired Bluetooth device can trigger i-Blue to wake up from sleep mode. This makes using GPS a much more pleasant process. Whenever you are inside the car, just turn on the PDA and i-Blue will turn on automatically. No more looking for GPS to turn on the power switch. . . . The GPS performance for i-Blue is quite good. It was able to get a fix inside my house and also inside the glove compartment in my car. TTFF does take a bit longer than BT-338 under the same condition, probably about 5 ~ 10 sec longer on average. However, once it has a fix, it does not loose track even in difficult situations such as underneath a bridge. As far as accuracy concerns, I did not notice any difference when compared to BT-338 although BT-338 is WAAS enabled. Perhaps it is because all the software has 「snap to the road」 technology, which automatically corrects the position. ClieTT on PocketPCThoughts After spending some time with the i-Blue receiver I became quite impressed with its performance . . . The i-Blue PS-3200 GPS has a fairly standard form factor, close in size to the Globalsat BT-338, but does sport a shiny hologram ! It uses a Nemerix chipset with an r3.2.7.2 firmware revision and enjoys 24+ hours of battery life in continuous operation . . . Based on my testing it performs as advertised: 1. GPS goes to sleep after 30 seconds without a BT connection (not discoverable in that mode) 2. Sleep mode is not totally inconspicuous as a brigt blue led flashes each second 3. GPS wakes up when the PDA/PC connects again, BT blue and GPS orange leds are solid. gpspassion |
