If you’ll be hitting the streets this winter, and want to feel like you’re on the autobahn no matter what roadway you embrace, Becker has unveiled a Ferrari-branded Traffic Assist Pro that takes navigation to an entirely different level. Originally crafted to fit in the exquisite F430 automobile, this luxurious GPS sports a 4-inch touchscreen, SiRF Star III receiver, 400MHz processor, 64MB of RAM, 64MB of flash memory, SD / MMC slots, USB 1.1 connectivity, 3.5-millimeter audio output, 2-watt integrated speaker, and a connector for an external antenna. Moreover, it boasts MP3 / WMA playback, doubles as a JPEG viewer, and houses NAVTEQ maps of 37 European countries. As expected, a list of speed radars will always be on tap thanks to its connection to the SCDB database, so you can put those massive vented brakes to use just in time; also, you’ll have access to a basic flow of traffic information with the purchase, while a “premium” (read: more expansive road selection) service will be available for €50 ($64) per year. So if you need yet another exotic gadget to tide you over until you can afford the real deal, Becker’s Ferrari-styled GPS will be available later this month for €699 ($898).

Here at Engadget, we’re all about DIY projects that make your (and our) life easier. Ever since the days when range-extending cantennas were the rage, we’ve all been hankering for increasing the reception of our notebook’s WiFi adapter (legally). Displeased with the built-in Dell 1470 a/b/g mini PCI unit in his Asus A2H notebook, a brave, engineering mind over at NotebookReview took to eBay in search of a solution. After purchasing a $118 “Turbo-Tenna,” he concocted a plan (hit the read link for the full skinny) to wire the amplifier internally in order to provide a sleek, unobtrusive appearance. Using a soldering iron and an “on / off switch,” he wired the Hong Kong-based device to his laptop’s power supply and routed the connector to free pins on the VGA output. Once complete, his reception went from spotty and sluggish (1Mbps) to a much improved 24Mbps. It was noted that the installation was a tad on the complex side, and when the antenna is in use, your VGA port is subsequently out of order — but hey, who needs a connection to the board room projector when you’re enjoying wireless internet on a beautiful offshore island?

Steel yourself, though, you’ve got video games to buy you and your family. Well, yourself, anyway.
