Mr. Mobile #25 / July 2, 2009
It's called "instant messaging," not "sometime in the not so distant future messaging" for a reason. The whole point of IM is to let you ping friends, family and co-workers with a quick question, a quick answer... or perhaps a witty bon mot, when an email is not required and a phone call might be too intrusive. IM seems tailor-made for the BlackBerry. Wherever you are, you can still be online on your favorite IM service and friends, family and co-workers can reach you with a quick question, a quick answer... or that witty bon mot.

The TomTom XL 340*S widescreen GPS is the latest from in-car GPS heavyweight TomTom. It's a worthy addition to the line-up and at US$220, it's reasonably priced to boot. With millions of points of interest (POIs) and the ability to add

"NavTones,"

celebrity voices that issue GPS instructions like "turn left in 300 meters," it's also a lot of fun on road trips... at least for a while. We demonstrate the

Homer Simpson voice on the GPS device

. In addition, TomTom's Route IQ, available traffic data (with add-on service charges) and easy to understand and navigate menus, make the

TomTom XL 340*S

an excellent GPS unit.
