Smile Unlocked Navman iCN520 Satnav

My main mobile reading tool is a satnav - a Navman iCN520, which is actually a PDA in disguise.

320x240 3.5in backlit touchscreen, SD (not SDHC) cards

It runs Win CE .Net 4.2 (with a lot of stuff removed to save space) and was unlocked to allow its full potential following instructions from here: http://navmanunlocked.wikispaces.com/Unlock

I'm currently using an oldish (4.8 - win CE) version of mobipocket reader, after having tried MS Reader (yuk - slow, no control of fonts and layout), and hallireader (nice, but text only, and limited format support).

I can get at least 8 hours reading out of it on one charge with it clocked down to 100Mhz, and the screen is viewable in direct sunlight - useful as I've just been on holiday...

If you have a similar satnav and think its only good for driving it may be worth googling to see if it can be unlocked!
