VTech Communications has announced the availability of its 2009 Dect 6.0 Cordless phone systems. With stylistic, feature-rich offerings to match the budget of any household, the new line features the first VTech cordless phones with popular touch-sensitive interfaces in the sleek LS6215 and LS6225 models, as well as the next generation of VTech’s popular V Mix phone with options for customization to illustrate personal style.

This year’s VTech “LS” series features the customizable LS6217, the next generation of VTech’s popular LS6117 “V Mix” phone. The new model is priced competitively at $34.95, with multiple options for total creative control. Personalization options include customization of the handset back graphics from the different designs included with the product, or users can create and print their own graphics using the free tool at www.vtechphones.com.

The LS6215 cordless phone system is the latest addition to the “V.Style” series. These sleekly designed phones make a strong design statement with a combination of touch-sensitive buttons (base station only), a high-gloss black and silver finish, and a blue backlit keypad and display.

Harman/Becker Automative Systems unveiled its latest GPS device called the Traffic Assist Highspeed 7934. Weird numbering apart, the new navigation device will be available exclusively across Office Depot stores across the US. The Traffic Assist Highspeed 7934 comes bundled with maps of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

The Traffic Assist Highspeed 7934 features a 3.5″ touch screen with a day/night display option for clear viewing at all times. The GPS device runs on a 400MHz processor which helps in faster re-routing. Thanks to dual speakers, you get clear sound even in noisy environments. For those who like speeding - well, the Traffic Assist Highspeed 7934 has a legal speed limit display and there’s even a voice (not your conscience) warning you in case you are speeding.

As is the norm, Traffic Assist Highspeed 7934 comes with an integrated MP3/WMA player that you can listen to either on the integrated speakers or headphones. Another fitment is the rudimentary JPEG/photo viewer. The Traffic Assist Highspeed 7934 Harman/Becker mobile GPS device is now available in the USA. No word on the pricing yet, but it will be available at retail stores.
