ISSUE #90

Written by: John Letzing

Moving in stereo
Never tiring of coming up with new phone-friendly gizmos, Nokia has released the Music Stand, a component that allows users to plug in and play their mobile phone’s radio in stereo. The unit also includes a microphone for conference and hands-free calls, and it’s compatible with CD and MP3 players. Price: CZK 2,000.

Philips on the phone
Philips makes a strong push into the mobile handset market with its new series of designer phones. The 330 is a candy-colored clamshell that features memory for 100 SMS messages, and image and tone-specific calling groups – visual or aural indications of who’s on the other end. Due out soon, price not yet available.

Small and snappy
Panasonic plans to launch the SV-AV20 “D-Snap” on the Czech market some time this month. It’s a multi-purpose tool – video camera, recorder, audio player, and voice recorder – that comes in a size small enough to slip into
a shirt pocket. Estimated retail price is CZK 15,000.
