Espoo, Finland - Renault Brazil and Nokia Brazil have joined forces to offer technology-savvy Brazilians an automobile that combines modern design with the most advanced mobile technology available today. The special edition Sandero Nokia will be the first Renault model produced in Brazil to come equipped with Nokia's complete mobility solution, including device, services & software and original accessories. The package includes the flagship multimedia computer, the Nokia N95, with an integrated Global Positioning System (GPS), pre-loaded Nokia Maps service, Bluetooth connection and a wide range of media solutions as well as music player, large screen and high-end camera. It also brings the Nokia LD-3W GPS module and is integrated with the Nokia CK-20W, an automobile accessories kit.
Sandero Nokia is the first compact vehicle in the Brazilian market to come factory-equipped with GPS. Created from the most inclusive version of Sandero's family of automobiles, Privilège 1.6 16V Hi-Flex, the special series Sandero Nokia has a suggested retail price including shipping of EUR 17,650. Only 1,000 units will be manufactured. (...).
Some of the key features of the Sandero Nokia include an audio streaming function that enables the driver to listen to music stored on his Nokia N95 through Sandero Nokia's speakers via a wireless connection; access to maps of the main cities in Brazil that are already included in the memory; and a Bluetooth System for telephone calls which allows drivers to utilize a microphone inserted into the upper part of Sandero Nokia's windshield and to listen to calls through the vehicle's audio system.
Post do blog Techncité do Montreal Gazette informa que o provedor Videotron vai oferecer no próximo mês em Montreal conexões à internet de 30 à 50 mbs (e está em testes a de 100mbs). O provedor Telus oferece 100mbs em Toronto, mas para um prédio apenas. Em Edmonton eu tinha uma conexão de 10mbs e o provedor Shaw oferecia até 25mbs. Bom, só para comparar com os preços dos provedores brasileiros, com Videotron 30mbs vai custar $65 por mes, menos de R$130,00, e 50mbs, $80, menos de R$ 160,00...Ah, e aqui o provedor oferece pacotes com telefone e TV e não é preciso passar por mais um provedor (como Terra, UOL, IG, etc) pois quem dá a conexão, CLARO, já é o provedor.
