Art Levedev Studio’s have created another concept gadget. This time they created the Navigarius which is a satnav unit that sports a round screen. It has touchscreen controls, a USB port, microSD slot and is powered by either battery or a lighter socket on your car.

It looks like it belongs in a future concept car and other than looking rather cool it looks like a pretty standard setup with the usual maps and features of ordinary satnav units.

The picture above and a bunch more can be found on the Art Levedev site.

At first it was hoped Samsung’s first Android phone would be on sale in the UK during June, but at the beginning of July this date was pushed forward to the second week of August, which we hope remains accurate.  Coming at the same time as this adjusted release date was the news that O2 would be the UK operator flying the Galaxy flag.

Reports indicate the phone will have both an 8GB internal memory and a MicroSD card slot for another 32GB, plus a 3.5mm jack plug for using you own headphones. The design may be a typically Samsung-style approach, but its 11mm chassis thickness is slightly slimmer than the Magic and is rumoured to be metallic.
