    Weak Asia input drags Dubai market down

    United Arab Emirates: Following Japan’s fall to a 15-month low on Monday, the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) ended a choppy day of trading, finishing 0.45% lower at 1,493.46 points. The DFM resumed trading Bahrain’s Gulf Finance House (GFH) shares after the Islamic investment bank disclosed its interim reviewed financial statements for the second quarter, reporting a $40m loss. GFH shares posted the largest loss, closing 10% lower at Dhs0.478 as the bank reported its seventh straight quarterly loss. As GFH’s total debt has mounted to $412m, it has named Germany’s Deutsche Bank to restructure its loan portfolio. Nasdaq Dubai listed Dubai Ports (DP) World, which are also traded on the DFM platform, lost 0.20% and closed at $0.499. EFG Hermes downgraded the world’s fourth largest container port operator to “Neutral” from “Buy” after the share saw “a strong rally in recent weeks (+20%) and is therefore likely to pause for breath”, EFG Hermes writes in a statement released today, adding that “we lower our 2010 and 2011 net income estimates by 12% and 16%, respectively, due to higher depreciation, tax and minority interest charges.” Low budget carrier Air Arabia (down 0.88% at Dhs0.793) denied media reports that it aims to buy another airline, after speculations came up that three airliners, including Sharjah-based Air Arabia, examine a possible takeover of Saudi competitor Sama Airlines. Sama grounded operations today after recording a loss of US$266 million, it has been reported. According to Bloomberg, it needs $80m to restart its operations. [AMEInfo.com]

    Top 5 Reasons Why the Garmin Nuvi 255W is the Best GPS Choice for Most Users

    Thumbnail image for Garminnuvi255w.jpg

    The Garmin Nuvi 255W has been a solid performer since its introduction two years ago, and its feature set combined with the lack of cutting edge expensive features make it the right choice for most GPS users out there. Here are five reasons why:

    1. Big Name Maker – Garmin is one of the pioneers in navigation and one of the largest globally. It sells a quality product, has the support infrastructure and will be there to provide technical expertise, product support, software updates and new map releases when you need them. In short a name you can trust. they aren’t the only ones out there, but it should be a factor you need to consider.

    2. Text to Speech – it speaks road names and tells you what street to turn onto. It makes a difference and most new GPS models have them, but many lower priced models don’t. It makes a difference when you need it most, when you are navigating in areas you aren’t familiar with.

    3. Widescreen (4.3-inch) unit - The Nuvi 255W is in the widescreen class offering 70% more screen real estate than the standard 3.5-inch models. This provides much easier data input (bigger keys to type on and a QWERTY keyboard layout that smaller screens can’t offer (They offer the frustrating ABC layout), and let’s face it, a bigger screen is better when traveling down the road at 40+MPH. Some of the newer 5-inch screens are great too, but cost significantly more…..(see #5 below).

    4. “Just Right” Feature Set – It’s not too little, but more importantly it’s not too much. There are newer models that have traffic alerts, connected search, and more that aren’t on the list of must-haves for most users. More features, require paying more, and most people aren’t into it these days.

    5. Price – With the most popular spot on Amazon’s list of car navigators going to the Nuvi 255W most of the time in the last year( Top GPS Sellers at Amazon), the volume is driving the price down to a very reasonable level – about $110 these days. For most people that’s an affordable level. If not, consider the refurbished one at about $90. If you can wait, Amazon offers free shipping on these units. This is usually at or well below a competitive model’s price for similar features.

    If you are a die-hard commuter (needs traffic updates), RV-Driver (Need larger screen), or someone who wouldn’t get caught dead with a two-year old piece of technology, then the Nuvi 255W is probably not for you. For the rest of the world, it is probably just right.
