The embedded internet is very common in latest electronics devices. The embedded web server used to be a hot topic since this technology can leverage common information technology infrastructure, including modem, Ethernet, PPP dial-up and web browser; there is no need to install any software on client computers. A lot of consumer electronics have already installed with embedded web servers, from router, switch, internet radio to NAS and IPTV. In the industrial field device market, ARC predicts that over the next five years, IP/Ethernet will dominate all field connections except for the final connection to the lowest level sensors and actuators. Besides to tftp and telnet, embedded web server is the most common technology used in both consumer and industrial electronics devices, especially for the classic "head-less" embedded systems, which has limited or no display at all.
For those of you lucky enough to have attended CeBIT2008 this past March in Hanover, you might have seen another series of GPS devices debut: the next two additions to the GPS lineup for Navigon Max series: 2100 and 2120.
