It has come only after the GPS was launched in Japan and Europe last year. SECA representatives declared that both the peripherals: GPS and camera, would be available to Americans by the end of this year. However, they couldn't predict the exact time.
It was also revealed that the gadget is going to have a new keyboard interface by mid 2009 that is currently being researched by Sony. The 1.3 mega pixel camera will be capable of taking pictures at either 480×272 or 640×480 resolution, and shooting 30 fps video 15 seconds at a time. The camera will cost us roughly $43 USD including a storage case. The GPS will get refreshed every second and will need separately sold map packs to run. The GPS receiver will cost approximately $52 USD.
