The AMCOR company is not exactly a very well-known manufacturer of GPS navigation devices, but it did manage to come up with no less than 6 such devices in the second half of 2007, each of these products providing certain features that target a specific segment of the consumer electronics market. And one of the aforementioned devices is the Amcor 3600 (as well as its Bluetooth-enabled version, the 3600 B), a couple of PNDs that offer some pretty interesting features, but too few to rank them above entry-level.



Thus, quite obviously, both the 3600 and 3600 B models are built around a GPS receiver, namely the 20-channel SiRF STAR III for the first one and SIGE SE4110L 16 Channels for the B-version. The CPUs also differ from one model to the next, as the 3600 sports an Intel 300 Mhz processor, while the 3600 B has been equipped with a Centrality Atlas II 300 Mhz CPU. Both model also feature up to 2 GB of NAND Flash memory / 64 MB RAM, used for running both the Microsoft WinCE.Net Core Version 4.2 and the iGO / Tele Atlas navigation software.



And since we're on the subject of navigation, it's important to note the fact that the PNDs have been equipped with 3.5-inch TFT full-color touch screens, which provides a 320 x 240 pixels resolution, 300 cd / m2 brightness level and 16.7-million colors. Furthermore, the navigation maps come on SD cards, as the devices support memory cards with storage capacities of up to 2 GB, while being able to offer spoken instructions either via the built-in 1W speakers or headphones.



The device also offers users a premium set of multimedia features, which include photo viewing (bmp, jpg, gif, png), music (MP3, WAV) and video (AVI) playback. Addtionally, the 3600 B also comes packed with a Bluetooth module, which means that it can always double as a handsfree system. Furthermore, the whole device is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Polymer battery (720 mAH), although no information regarding the available functioning life is provided.



The Amcor 3600 / B retail for around 190 / 329 US dollars, which seem some pretty fair prices, although the Bluetooth-enabled version is a bit too expensive for its own good.
