Kinwei's KW-GM4306TG uses Windows CE 4.2, and offers a touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. Like a multitude of other GPS devices, the unit employs SiRF's starIII chipset, touted as being able to track more than 20 satellites, with a TTFF (time to first fix) of just one second. (This chipset could be banned from U.S. importation by December, thanks to a patent battle with Broadcom. For more details, see our earlier coverage, here.)

The KW-GM4306TG's CPU is Samsung's S3C2440A, clocked at 400MHz, and provided with 64MB of RAM and 256MB of flash storage. The device uses its SD card slot to store maps.

So far, this is standard fare, but as the picture above indicates, the KW-GM4306TG also comes with a wired joypad for gaming use. Kinwei doesn't say what type of games the device is compatible with, other than a passing reference to "8-bit." Perhaps, like last year's Newman Newsmy MiniAll VX1000, the unit is bundled with an 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator.

Other interfaces are said to include Bluetooth, USB, and an A/V input that may be connected to an automotive rear-view camera. The device ships with mounting hardware, power adapters, and an A/V cable, Kinwei says.
