Now you won't be able to explain away the phone call you forgot to
return.
SAMSUNG'S PDA PHONE combines a telephone with the
reminder to dial it - and an entry with the proper telephone
number, address, even dress size if you so choose. As a
PalmOS-compatible,
Samsung provides familiar goodies: Graffiti
Writing software, a clock, calculator, memo pad, appointment
scheduler, and address/phone book. Not-so-familiar features?
E-mail,
Web browsing, and data transfer. Switch on the dual-mode
phone and you'll find call waiting, call forwarding, and caller ID,
so you can't claim you didn't get the message, either. Speed,
hands-free, and voice-activated dialing take care of any other
explanations you might dream up. Don't be surprised if she buys one
for you. Around $600; available this spring at (800) 726-7864.
JUST BRING THE RIGHT VIDEOS
When you get your hands on the
COMPAQ MP2800 MICROPORTABLE
PROJECTOR, no doubt you'll first justify the purchase with a
snazzy new presentation for prospective clients. After all, that's
the main reason you travel so much, right? But then you'll probably
move on to more creative, personal projects. Either way, this
three-pound projector won't bog you down when you're dashing
through airports or exhibit halls. It's easy to set up and operate,
too. Lamp replacements, for example, come in cartridges, saving on
delays and sparing fingers from red-hot bulbs. The multimedia
adapter makes your wildest sales leads come true - you can hook up
to a PC, DVD, VCR, or camcorder and put your vision on the nearest
wall or screen. Lest you stumble, however, we'll mention the
erstwhile couple on the car commercial. You know the one - they
return the wrong video to the video store. The really wrong video.
So double-check the camcorder and/or video cartridge before you hit
the play button. $4,999; available now at (800)
345-1518.
