Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY
They say there’s a kid in all of us — and if that’s true, this may be just the phone for you. The world’s first PlayStation-certified smartphone combines a PlayStation-quality gaming experience with the latest Android smartphone technology. You can take conference calls, send emails and win the Super Bowl (well, kind of), all on one device. The Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY, exclusively for Verizon Wireless, redefines mobile gaming by combining all the features customers expect from a fully featured smartphone with the ultimate gaming experience.
Powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it comes pre-loaded with seven game titles including Madden NFL 11, Bruce Lee Dragon Warrior, Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, The Sims 3, Star Battalion, Crash Bandicoot and Tetris. More than 50 additional games are available for download via VCAST Apps. Go instantly from executive to gamer with the slide-out game pad revealing a directional keypad, dual analog touch joystick, two shoulder buttons and the four iconic PlayStation symbol keys. It also features a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with Adreno 205 GPU, Adobe Flash Player; 4-inch multi-touch display; support for Google Mobile Services including Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Google Search and Google Maps; and access to more than 200,000 apps available from Android Market. $199.99 plus monthly access plan. www.verizonwireless.com
OnStar FMV
OnStar FMV, an abbreviation of For My Vehicle, brings the industry-leading safety, security and communications service — previously only available in certain car brands like Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac — to your car, whatever make it may be. It offers the same core features that have made OnStar an invaluable resource for more than 6 million subscribers. For example, Automatic Crash Response, triggered by an accelerometer in the OnStar FMV mirror, connects you to a trained OnStar emergency advisor in the event of a crash. The advisor can provide the exact location of the crash to emergency responders using your mirror’s GPS location, even if you’re unable to respond. Turn-by-Turn navigation, OnStar’s most popular service, is accessible with a press of OnStar’s blue button; ask for directions to a specific address or location and they are downloaded to OnStar FMV, which provides spoken turn-by-turn instructions to the destination. Security services include Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance, which also uses OnStar FMV’s global positioning satellite location. OnStar FMV also provides two choices for hands-free calling through the OnStar service or through a Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone. Installation, which requires replacing your rearview mirror with the OnStar FMV, takes less than an hour and costs less than $100. $299, plus monthly service plan. www.onstar.com

Jun 7, 2023Singer Palace Hotel Review
The idea of a boutique hotel in the center of Rome’s busiest crossroads may seem counterintuitive, but Singer Palace Hotel pulls off the impossible thanks to its minimalist exteriors, 30 gorgeous one-of-a-kind rooms and suites, smart-but-whimsical décor, simple-yet-elegant Roman cuisine and a stellar mixology-driven rooftop bar. It’s a delightful study in contrasts — a quiet, intimate and plush setting nestled within a maze containing many of Rome’s most noteworthy sites.
