The Engadget Mobile folks made it really tough to justify the price tag of the Garmin-Asus nuviphone G60 in a comprehensive review of the GPS-oriented GPS handset yesterday. But Hammacher Schlemmer makes it even more difficult to justify the price of the Red Light Camera Detector by passing it off as a GPS navigator without any navigation features. As you can figure out from the name, the Red Light Camera Detector forgoes the GPS navigation to simply focus on speed camera and red light locations in the United States and Canada. It has a database of 6, 000, displaying their presence visually on a map and audibly. The camera database is updated monthly from chamber of commerce and state contract data, but at a nickel under $200 why wouldn’t you just buy a fully geared GPS navigator with speed camera warnings as an add-on? Focusing on a tiny market niche isn’t always the best way to go folks.
