With its inbuilt camera it can take a photo of a business card and scan it for location information. Obviously once it has worked out a name and an address it will store this in its database and you will be able to get directions to the location of said location by clicking on it through the menu. I think you can even make calls to phone number(s) on the business card using the inbuilt Bluetooth. Quite a practical idea if you ask me =)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DAZA]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2007 9:25AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
