GPS: JVC joins the game with entertaining GPS device

The number of players in the market of GPS devices grows and grows. After Sony presented its new GPS systems now also JVC unveiled their first GPS-capable device:

The 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen is windshield mountable. The KV-PX9 has a 20GB internal HD. 13GB is for navigation, the other 7GB is for movies, photos and MP3 (or other formats) of music. There is an SD slot on the side for memory, and a USB 2.0 port as well. There are two different map views offered: 2D aerial view or 3D through-the-windshield view. There are stereo speakers on this thing, but you will definitely want to route it through the car’s head unit. The music, it should be noted, is converted using JVC’s proprietary “CC Converter that enhances the sound quality of compressed music files.” Anyone got details on what this is and whether it’s any good? The battery is good for three hours, and there is a car charger included. Available in March for $799.
