hi I'm Tom Merritt editor from cnet.com and welcome to road warrior where we take a look at the hottest gadgets for life on the go coming up the best camera phone we've seen how not to get a virus on your cell phone and the most technically advanced Jaguar yep but first let's take a look at a tiny little mp3 player James Kim really only likes one thing about this music right there's no extra features no FM tuner no voice recording no nothing this right here is not a button it's a phantom button it's a nice place to put your thumb these three buttons right here play forward back also double up as your volume buttons so what's the big deal about this thing well the reason I like it is because it's $20 40 bucks that's worth it just for the storage now onto something that gives you more for more money Kent German really likes the new Sony Ericsson case 798 camera phone this is Sony Ericsson's for cyber-shot phone so it is really all about photography don't see the limps right now but just slide down this cover there it is does have a pretty big lens along with a mirror for self-portraits and a very bright flash almost floods the pictures with too much light in some cases looks very much like a camera from the outside same with the ergonomics just press this button right here and take pictures in this to zoom over although very stylish phone and packed with features as well yes this is a phone not a camera that can't Dermot says it's the best camera phone he's seen yet now mobile viruses are starting to become a real concern Robert mimosa explains one of the most common ways you can get a virus on your cell phone antivirus vendors tell me that the number one reason people infect their own mobile device is that they need to make a phone call so they say yes and they accept the virus onto their system just so they have access to the outside world in doing so however you have now become a vector and you are now spreading the virus to other mobile devices around you Robert recommends installing antivirus on your mobile phone and if you get one of those messages repeatedly from a number you don't know just walk away you'll probably get out of range can drive away in a hot new car Ryan Cooley shows off the most technically advanced Jaguar yet but here's what's really interesting they tell us it's the first automotive application of Macromedia flash to power the menus and drive the interface sometimes it seems a little bit sluggish in terms of its processor power we're not sure if that's a hardware or a software issue but hopefully they'll optimize that more in future X case because it's a little bit slow on the uptake sometimes but that doesn't take away from the overall satisfying visual quality of this screen it's an extremely beautiful interface that controls all the cars major systems you've got them right there Audio climate phone Bluetooth phone in this car of course dvd-based navigation and overall vehicle settings remember it's a coupe though so you're not going to fit in the backseat Bryant ride was it pretty well that's it for this edition of Road Warrior I'm Tom Merritt check back next time for more gadgets to keep you armed and dangerous ly productive
