Based on the TomTom ONE IQ Routes^TM edition*, the White Pearl is the latest offering from Tom Tom and is definitely aimed at the female market. It looks sleek and stylish with its chic pearlescent finish, swirl pattern and matching EasyPort folding mount. And when your’re not using it, you can pop it into its silk, drawstring bag to keep it protected from the depths of your hand bag!!

It also includes some brand new features such as, ‘Places to be seen’ and ‘Shop ‘til you drop’. Covering everything from restaurants, bars, cafes, coffee shops, cinemas and theatres to fashion and home furnishing stores.

One thing that I really like is the Help Me! safety feature, including emergency phone numbers and a ‘Where Am I?’ function particularly useful if you break down and are lost!!

The TomTom White Pearl will be available in June 2009 from www.Amazon.co.uk. The suggested retail price is £179.99. For more information, please visit: www.tomtom.com

 Leapfrog text and learn  

You can now give your baby geek his/her own PDA instead of letting them slobber on yours or accidentally send messages to someone random in your address book. This ‘baby blackberry’ is not a networked device so they won’t be communicating with anyone, it has games that focus on spelling and basic computer skills, bit like an updated version of speak and spell from back in the day. It’s suitable for ages 3 and up.
