The Reader application for viewing PDF files already is available for numerous operating systems, including Palm, Pocket PC and Symbian for mobile devices.

The first device to use the applications with be in-car navigation systems produced by Sony. There, the format would be useful for displaying downloadable maps, tourist guides and other content.
