Do you know this? You're out with friends, chatting about God and the world, until a heated argument breaks out about whether Saturn or Jupiter is the planet with the ring. Now there's a remedy for such situations.

 Do you know this? You're out with friends, chatting about God and the world, until a heated argument breaks out about whether Saturn or Jupiter is the planet with the ring. Of course, you could bet your bottom dollar on the correct answer and want to enlighten your ignorant counterpart immediately. But how can you do that when there is no access to the all-knowing Internet, including Wikipedia, anywhere near you? Brockhaus has now come up with a solution: after the encyclopaedia specialist has already gone online, it is now coming to cell phones in its entirety. Together with the software company Envi.con, it is launching a new mobile multimedia version of its reference work. According to the press release, it contains 300 videos, 700 audio files and 6,400 photos and illustrations. Brockhaus was already available for cell phones, but without pictures. However, the multimedia fun comes at a price and costs just under 50 euros. Hopefully there is something in it for all those for whom the Ring of Saturn can remain stolen.
