Garmin Nuvi 200
Guess what, Britain? You get a pink product the United States doesn’t get! I’m talking about the Garmin Nuvi 200, a satellite navigation system for your car. I’m not sure how I feel about the product, though. For one thing, there aren’t a lot of pink cars out there, and there’s not a lot of pink car gadgets, so this Garmin is going to look a little funny on your dashboard until you get more pink stuff. But my main concern is this description straight off the Garmin website:
Smart and stylish, this pink nüvi will guide you with turn-by-turn directions to your favourite boutique or restaurant and fits neatly in your handbag. No matter the colour, the portable, good-looking nüvi looks great on the dash and will show you a good time.
See, I don’t buy into the idea that liking pink means you are automatically a shallow shopaholic bimbo. Liking pink means one thing: you like pink. My family can tell you that I love pink, but this thing would be directing me to geocaches and the nearest computer store. Oh wait, that is shopping. Nevermind, the Garmin Nuvi 200 is great! Hopefully they’ll bring it to the New World soon…
Added: The pink nuvi is now available in the US, only from Best Buy.
