Intempo Digital Buddy satellite navigation system

Intempo Digital slapped some metallic pink on its £299 Buddy satellite navigation system and calls it a device that is aimed at the female population, which is a preposterous idea, really. Intempo claims that the GPS market is saturated with boring, dull-looking products that do not appeal to the female population, hoping that the Buddy will be able to fill the niche. Purchasing a GPS satellite navigation system is totally different from buying a handbag. Hopefully Garmin, TomTom and other GPS manufacturers will not take this ridiculous route.
