A cruise line is introducing "technology concierges" to teach its passengers how to use their own high tech hardware.

Crystal Cruises hopes its technology concierges can help guests fully understand the "sometimes daunting features" of popular devices they own or are thinking about buying.

The US cruise line company said the staff will "enlighten" guests about the newest trends and teach them finer nuances of popular hardware including the iPod nano, iPhone, BlackBerry Bold, Kindle 2, Palm Treo Pro and Garmin Colorado 400c navigational device.

Crystal said its gadget committee plans to add new technology and update their in-house education to keep technology concierges up to date with new hardware.
