ELECTRONIC GADGET: CANON NEW BUSINESS PRINTERS

Canon is one of the most recognized gadget brands, especially when it comes to printer technology, and at this point canon unveiled a couple more PIXMA Wireless Photo All-In-One (AIO) printers, alongside a new PIXMA Inkjet Business Printer with PgR technology and a SELPHY Compact Photo Printer with a new voice guidance system.
There is also a PIXMA available, all depends on your needs.

What makes the SELPHY ES40 Compact Photo Printer so unique from other is its ability to offer step-by-step instructions for printing and also adding graphics to images without the need for a manual, which makes its easier even for granpas to do so, thanks to its voice guidance system (hopefully a female voice). This provides step-by-step instructions for printing and adding graphics to images without having to rely on a manual. Other features include a large 3.5″ LCD display and Easy Scroll Wheel that makes printing and navigating through menus and images a whole lot more intuitive compared to its predecessors. You can also personalize your photos with new frames and clip art that are pre-loaded under the Creative Print function to unleash your creative juices on the spot. The Canon SELPHY ES40 Compact Photo Printer will retail for $149.99.

In line with the PIXMA MP990 and PIXMA MP640 Wireless Photo AIO printers, they come with the Auto Photo Fix II feature that permits all its users to correct the photos and images before they are even printed out, kissing goodbye to common photo errors which includes underexposed images and photos. Auto Photo Fix II is smart enough to help you out with features that includes Multi-Zone Exposure Correction, enhancements in overall face detection, scene analysis, plus brightness as well as saturation correction.

The inclusion of PgR technology on the Canon PIXMA iX7000 Inkjet Business Printer permits one to recreate professional-looking documents and fiules in-house without forking out a fortune - we think this would be good for small and growing businesses, but bigger corporations ought to look elsewhere for a heavy duty multi purpose printer. The PIXMA iX7000 printer is tipped to retail for $399.99.

Mobile Gadgets: CELLPHONES WITH BUILT-IN SATELLITE NAVIGATION

Satellite navigation more commonly known as sat-nav is considered as luxury which comes as standard in the Rolls-Royces of the mobile and cellular-phone world - but even if you fork out for one of these deluxe and elite models parked here, you'll need to custom-tune it yourself. You really need some skills and potentials to buy a GPS mobile and stick it on the dash.

Many mobile phones and handsets ship with satellite-navigation software which has been designed and generated for finding addresses, not navigation - so to actually use it on the road, you will be needing someone in the passenger seat moving the map around and reading out some directions - just like using an atlas, only fiddlier. Proper satellite-navigation software normally entails a download and/or a subscription, which you can buy up to £100 a year - a little steep when you can get satellite-navigation for as little as £50.

But thanks to some manufacturer for making some sat-nav affordable. For each mobile phone unit model, we have found the best, the cheapest and most affordable software, including voice- guided navigation - an important given how small phone screens look on the dash.

Note that features such as live traffic updates can give you extra cost and even the best phone software is not as good as a dedicated sat-nav as well. Get a car charger before setting out, too - GPS software entails you to need extra battery or an on-the go charger.

These are the discovered mobile phones which can access GPS and sat-nav.

1. APPLE IPHONE 3GS

apple.com/uk/iphone

Screen 3.5in

Software Google Maps

The new iPhone's battery can finally handle the demands of GPS on a long trip. With the superb CoPilot app (a one-off fee of £26), this is unbeatable.

VERDICT: 5/5

2. T-MOBILE G1

t-mobileg1.com

Screen 3.2in

Software Google Maps

The fully featured, voice-guiding CoPilot software is also available for the excellent G1 phone. As with the iPhone, it costs £26 (alk.com/ copilot).

VERDICT: 4/5

3. SONY ERICSSON W995

sonyericsson.com

Screen 2.6in

Software Wayfinder Navigator

Comes with a three-month trial of the Wayfinder software, featuring voice guidance. After that, prices start at around £35 a year - city guides, traffic info and speed-camera warnings cost you extra. Ask your network for details.

VERDICT: 3/5

4. BLACKBERRY CURVE 8900

uk.blackberry.com

Screen 2.4in

Software BlackBerry Maps

The free BlackBerry software isn't designed for cars, and you'll have to pull over to check the visual-only directions. Thankfully, the excellent Telmap Navigator software is just £40 from BlackBerry's App World.

VERDICT: 3/5

5. NOKIA N96

nokia.co.uk

Screen 2.8in

Software Nokia Maps

The chunky N96 includes Nokia Maps for free, although voice-guided navigation - essential for keeping your eyes on the road - will cost you £99 for a year. On top of that, the handset is a little cumbersome for in-car use.

VERDICT: 2/5

6. SAMSUNG TOCCO ULTRA

samsung.com/uk

Screen 2.8in

Software Google Maps

The Tocco Ultra manages to combine style and substance with its big, responsive touchscreen. It comes with Google Maps, which is good for planning, but not when you're driving. Download the free amAze GPS software instead.

VERDICT: 3/5

7. SONY ERICSSON W715

sonyericsson.com

Screen 2.6in

Software Google Maps

Wayfinder Navigator (around £35 a year; see the W995, above) transforms this relatively averagelooking phone into a competent guide. With no touchscreen, it's an affordable but imperfect alternative to dedicated sat-nav.

VERDICT: 2/5

8. HTC HERO

htc.com

Screen 3.2in

Software Google Maps

Slick and smooth, the Hero looks the part, but entering addresses on the touchscreen can be fiddly, and sat-nav isn't its best feature. Upgrade options are the same as for the similar G1 (which benefits from a slide-out keyboard).

VERDICT: 3/5

9. NOKIA N86 8MP

nokia.co.uk

Screen 2.6in

Software Nokia Maps

Like Apple's 3GS, the N86 has a compass, but watch out for the limitations of Nokia Maps (see the N96, above). With just a ten-day trial for voice guidance, you'll soon be forking out the extra £99 for the full year's licence.

VERDICT: 3/5
