Pocket to me
Wondering what to wear to your next office party? The
Logitech Pocket Digital camera looks like a posh cigarette
case and easily slips into a dinner jacket. The camera
is only 13 mm thick, but it packs an impressive 1.3-megapixel
resolution and can store 52 images. If the party gets
wild, you can snap every embarrassing moment.

Party
Machine
Need a way to make some big noise? Stick an
Olympia Soundbug (at ) onto any wood, metal
or grass surface, plug it into the headphone
jack of your laptop or Walkman and listen
to the surface start to resonate like a real
speaker. Hook up a pair of the mouse-size
devices, and enjoy stereo sound. Their sucker-like
push rings lock them firmly in place, even
on windows. |

Little Big Shot
Are you a sucker for multipurpose gadgets? Try
this one on for size. It’s a four-in-one
digital camcorder, camera, MP3 player and voice
recorder from Panasonic. The SV-Av10 ($449) can
store 30min. of MPEG-4 video or 880 digital stills
on a single 64-MB memory card and display them
on a 5-cm flip-out LCD screen. The whole thing
is not much bigger than a deck of cards.

Phone
Fun
Pictures in the wallet are so 20th century. The
new, cool way to carry snap-shots of your dog or
your daughters is in, what else? your cell phone.
Attach the Sony Ericsson T68I phone ($300 to $400,
available this summer) to a special snap on camera
module, and it can click and store upto 200 digital
images. You can even beam pictures to other T68I
phones or e-mail them to a PC. With so much to look
at, who has time to talk. |
