Sony’s new 4.8-inch Bluetooth-capable NV-U93T isn’t just about the exterior looks, we’re really digging the interface: call us suckers for anti-aliasing. The unit’s also reasonably thin, something most GPS manufacturers have seemed loathe to catch on to. We’re not saying go out and buy seven of them or anything, it’s just a nice little unit is all.

Not that it doesn’t completely go without saying, but whenever you start hacking any battery-powered portable device, you need to freaking be careful. Otherwise you might end up like dude here who was pulling a Geohot on his iPhone when short circuited and became red hot, releasing the magic smoke hither locked inside the device’s electronics. Lesson learned: you take your phone, even your life, into your own hands when screwing with components, so be gentle and careful, will you?
