It’s no surprise that Android has managed to get to people’s hearts with its amazing functionality that has convinced more and more manufacturers to have it run on their mobile devices. What’s even more interesting is that although the Motorola Droid is (also known as) the first-ever Android-based in-car navigation solution, folks from ArcherMind have announced that they’re the first to market such a system.
Present at the Embedded Technology 2009 trade show in Yokohama, Japan, ArcherMind showed off a 7-inch (800 x 480 display) device that they’re selling to various Chinese automakers, for some time now. Built with Chinese hardware makers and equipped with Marvell Technology Group Ltd’s ARM core processor, the Android-powered in-car navigation system allows web browsing via 3G (W-CDMA) or Wi-Fi, connects to your portable media player or phone via Bluetooth, plays audio files and has a port to connect a hard drive or an SD card.
Although we’re pretty sure it won’t fit inside of your expensive four wheeler, keep in mind that ArcherMind Android nav system is actually meant to be attached to the dashboard of a low-priced vehicle — which is why we’ll assume it won’t cost too much.

Does android support tethering from a phone? Hook this up to a phone for cell service, use internet, and run the google navi app. That would be a whole bunch of win.
