For the man on the move
The Nokia 6110 Navigator brings together GPS and AGPS functionality with always-on mobile connectivity in a feature-rich, compact device. The Navigator is expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2007 and features full personal navigation experience with integrated maps, routing and navigation available with the click of the phone's one-touch Navigator key. With the Nokia 6110 Navigator, consumers can quickly and easily view their current location on the map, search for destinations, find specific routes, or locate services such as restaurants, hotels or shops that are nearby. Featuring full turn-by-turn 3D navigation, the Navigator suggests the best route to follow to reach a location by car or on foot. Clear instructions by voice guidance and turn arrows on a map ensure finding the fastest way to the destination.

Bedtime stories


Sony Reader PRS-500 can store up to 80 books, some blogs, and display black-and-white photos. It also has long battery life. For anyone who travels often and reads a lot, this is just the thing to make life a little easier. The Reader is easy to master and comfortable to read, particularly with a feature that lets you increase or decrease font size to suit your eyes. You will, however, need a light when rea-ding in dimmer conditions – like regular books, this device lacks a light of its own. Overall, the Reader's layout is well thought out and easy to use. You can zip through an on-screen menu that lists the books stored in memory, bookmark certain pages, or move forward or back a step with a button on the right-bottom of the Reader. Or, for even faster access, simply press one of the ten buttons on the bottom that corresponds to the numbers of each function onscreen.
