Video: “Really, really lost” New Ovi Maps Advert
Hot on the heels of “The one that got away ” advert, here’s really, really lost I like the humour Nokia’s trying to put in, the whole exaggerated notion of the unpleasantness of being lost, and how, with Ovi Maps you can avoid all that. Though initial first impressions were that it was odd and creepy (not something you want to be associated with) I think the punchline delivers. Now if only Ovi Maps could help N900 users too

Review: Canon Imageformula P-150 mobile scanner
Canon Imageformula P-150 Mobile Scanner – Photo: Mobile Magazine The Canon Imageformula P-150 is the latest mobile scanner from Canon. It sells for under $300 online , and can scan at duplex up to 20 sheets per sitting. A perfect portable scanning companion for your mobile office. Definitely compact in size, light-weight and measuring only 11 x 3.7 x 1.6-inches, the P-150 is thin enough to slip in your laptop bag or rucksack. The shiny piano black finish gives off a “high-end” expensive look, but marks up and requires the white glove treatment. The expandable paper tray alignment hopper folds out like a Transformer and can be adjusted to the exact size you need it to be. Document feeding alignment was excellent, it stayed on course all throughout the process
