Acer’s new P710 and P730 GPS units for Europe

Filed under:

Nothing like kicking off the week with a boring pair of GPS navigation systems that aren’t even States bound. Acer’s new P710 and P730 rock the ubiquitous SiRF III chipset, 4.3-inch 480 x 272 displays, 64MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM, SD expansion and Windows CE 5.0. The P710 includes a 512MB SD card with regional maps, while the P730 includes a 2GB SD card with all of Europe, along with RDS / TMC traffic info. Prices start at 199 Euro ($280 US), and Acer should be shipping these in October.

Starbucks planning 50 million song giveaway for iTunes launch

Filed under: ,

We knew Starbucks was kicking off its new partnership with Apple on October 2nd, but apparently the ‘bucks is pulling out all the stops for the launch with a 50 million song giveaway to start things off. From October 2nd to November 7th, baristas across the country will be handing out 1.5 million “Song of the day” cards each day, which can be redeemed at Apple’s iTunes store — though most stores won’t have the free iTunes functionality set up for redeeming your prize in-store by the time the promotion ends. There will be 600 stores in New York and Seattle offering up free iTunes downloads via laptop, iPhone or iPod touch on October 2nd, with San Francisco to follow in early November. Starbucks will also start selling “digital release” cards that let you download a specific album online. Starbucks promises to upgrade a quarter of its stores to iTunes-fi by the end of the year, and roll out the functionality to its entire chain of WiFi shops by the end of 2009.
