The emcache rolling quiz

[Dave]

* You ask a question.
* The first person to answer the question correctly (confirmed by the Q Setter), gets to ask the next question.

That's it. (If necessary I will arbitrate). 

Any subject, any mode (pictures, text, but no cache puzzles please0, but I'll start in a geocaching way.

Q1.  "We often use GARMIN units for navigation.  How did the brand name come about?"

[g1jkb]

It's a combination of the names of the two people that found it: Gary Burrell and Dr Min Kao. Much like car engine performance specialists Cosworth.

Correct, is your question the answer to Cosworth ?

Over to you.

[g1jkb]

Hoorah! I logged in at the right time for this one.

Correct, is your question the answer to Cosworth ?

Yes, I did burn my bridges a little bit there...

I'll stick to the GPS theme though, sort of...

Q2. "Some geocachers use their mobile phones for navigation; I use a Nokia. What was the name of Nokia's first ever 'mobile' phone?"

Q2. "Some geocachers use their mobile phones for navigation; I use a Nokia. What was the name of Nokia's first ever 'mobile' phone?"

Hmmm.

The Mobira Senator was their first "car phone", but is that a mobile phone?

The Mobira Talkman was their first "transportable phone" and the Mobira Cityman 900 was their first handheld.

[g1jkb]

The web rat takes it!

I was after the senator, hence underlining ever. But I'd have accepted both.

Over to you...
