What Drives Your Summer Vacation?



LifeDrive™ mobile manager

HONG KONG, July 13, 2005 – It's time again to start thinking of vacation plans for this summer! Whether you are planning to laze on the beach, travel to Spain to look at Gaudi's unique buildings, or just wander into the trendiest coffee joints to do some reading, the LifeDrive™ mobile manager is always with you. Designed for people with a significant volume of digital information, the 4GB (3.85GB user available) LifeDrive mobile manager is your best companion (recommended retail price HK$3,890).

With 4GB of hard-drive storage, LifeDrive lets you store up to 48,000 compressed photos on your vacation. The expansion card slot, which supports SD, SDIO and MultiMediaCard formats, makes it easy to transform the LifeDrive mobile manager into a camera companion. Instead of bringing a laptop on vacation, users can simply download images from the camera's SD memory card onto the LifeDrive mobile manager to free up the card for more photos and enjoy photos on a larger screen.

Never miss home again while you are on vacation. With the LifeDrive, you can bring with you all your favourite photos of your closest friends and family, treasured home movies, and even your entire MP3 collection.

Need to send an urgent email while you are at your favourite coffee joint? No worries. The built-in Wi-Fi technology lets you access POP, IMAP and Exchange email accounts whenever and wherever you have Wi-Fi access.1 What's more, you can research the sights and attractions of your holiday destination by connecting to any public Wi-Fi hotspot. You can also use your LifeDrive to connect to a Bluetooth® technology-enabled mobile phone and access wireless email and the Internet to stay in touch with work, family or friends.2

There are also hundreds of useful applications you can download to use on your LifeDrive.3 The LifeDrive comes in handy from the moment you start planning your trip until the moment you return. To plan your trip, use Vacation Manager from PalmGear (www.palmgear.com), a downloadable software that helps you plan the time for your holiday and your workload. Once you're all booked, you can be sure not to miss your plane by using Flight Itinerary from PalmGear (www.palmgear.com), which allows you to check on your flight itinerary and lists out your travel requirements (www.palmgear.com). During your trip, you can use Palm Currency Converter (www.palmgear.com) to check exchange rates between 157 currencies. (Vacation Manager, Flight Itinerary and Palm Currency Converter all sold separately.)

So this summer, treat yourself to a LifeDrive mobile manager and drive your vacation!
