Government Technology - January 2009 - (Page 48) In this products section, Government Technology takes a different approach by letting our staff give a firsthand account about items on their technology wish lists. Nikon D80 After researching plenty of cameras I’d like to purchase, a co-worker recommended the D80 as the ultimate must-have, consumer-friendly camera. The 10.2-megapixel camera produces high-resolution digital images, has seven program modes and captures three frames per second. The D80 has in-camera editing, so even novices can take professional-grade photos. This all-purpose camera retails at $799. www.nikonusa.com KAREN STEWARTSON MANAGING EDITOR Garmin nüvi 880 Hoverit Lounge Chair It’s a see-through acrylic chair that levitates off the ground — how cool is that? This interesting venture into the world of futuristic relaxation uses repelling magnets to keep the seat floating above the base. I’d definitely like to have one of these at home. And if I had one at work, it would be appropriate to sit in a floating chair while I’m writing about technology. www.hoverit.co.uk HILTON COLLINS STAFF WRITER I lack a sense of direction. I rely on turn-by-turn directions because, quite frankly, I can’t read a map well. The Garmin nüvi 880 GPS unit would change my directionally challenged life. Not only can I speak commands to it while driving, like “Find Address,” but the high-sensitivity internal antenna also lets me toss it in my purse and never be lost again. It features Bluetooth technology for hands-free calling, is preloaded with maps and points of interest — great for locating gas stations on road trips — and features a 4.3-inch, full-color display. The unit comes with a free trial to MSN Direct for checking the weather, traffic delays and even movie listings. The suggested retail price is $899. www.garmin.com ELAINE RUNDLE STAFF WRITER JAN_09 48 j http://www.nikonusa.com http://www.hoverit.co.uk http://www.garmin.com http://www.govtech.com
