In a race to defuse an international power struggle, with the world's oil supply hanging in the balance, Dr Jones, along with Bond, uses the Jornada to diagnose a bomb while travelling at 70mph.

The Jornada 430se was announced in September. It weighs 8.8 ounces, has a built-in MP3 player, 133MHz Hitachi processor, 16Mb memory, colour screen and Microsoft Outlook 2000.
