2 007's gadgets: licensed to yell; It's been another year of budgets, branding and business building, so how about a reward? Vikki Bland looks at the coolest gadgets, gizmos and productivity tools available on the market now to get "007"
New James Bond actor Daniel Craig must be expecting the 007 gadgets at the next Bond movie will help mad Bond fans neglect his latest admission: Craig told journalists that he has been so busy working that he hasn't been into a Bond movie since 1973's Live and Let Die.

Some business owners may be able to sympathise with this, but if life is too busy for movies, why miss out on these gadgets?
New Zealand retailers can not offer invisible cars which come pre-loaded with parachutes and mini-guns, or chewing gum which doubles as explosive (oh wait, that was Mission: Impossible); however they do have various cool cell communications, navigation and entertainment gadgets that evolve more with each month.
How about a Sony Ericsson-branded watch that works wirelessly using a Sony Ericsson cell phone so that you may handle incoming telephone calls and messages straight from the watch face? Consider the benefit of this in a boring meeting (just checking the moment, huh?)

That opinion, the MW-100, is just one of several advanced mobile device accessories available on the market now for Christmas. Others include a hands-free vehicle kit to get a Nokia cellphone that doubles as a in-cariPod speaker also has optional navigation software that speaks directions; along with a Bluetooth mobile headset that lets people handle and take phone calls whilst jogging or on the transfer.
The two telcos also have fresh business devices able to web browse either through WAP or Internet Explorer and synchronise with email stored on the Microsoft Exchange server software of a business or e mail host. (The latter means changes made to email on a mobile device are mirrored instantly in Exchange Server, so office PCs and mobile devices transmit the same up-to-date email information.)
Meanwhile, the pricing is coming to smart devices with advanced business features--for instance, the brand new Vodafone 1210 smart mobile with Windows Mobile 5.0 has an RRP under $600.
Still on the business scene, wireless device developer Vocera has sold New Zealand hospitals, emergency services and healthcare clinics a telephone and paging device which uses wireless community standards for hands-free link to the inner system of their organisation. The device is clipped 'Star Trek style' into the front of clothes and has voice recognition and intelligent call routing so staff simply push 1 button, state who or whatever they need, and also the software and anti system then locates that person or passes to a voice or cell phone message.
If you have had enough of business productivity tools for a little while, there are loads of top-notch new personal devices available on the market. Consumer mobile phones today boast quality digital cameras with auto focus as well as optical zoom, as well as video cameras, music players and internet browsers. You will find new styles, exclusive designs and 'fashion' phones in unusual colours and materials, and some devices have two cameras for easier video calling on the Vodafone 3G cell networks.

Savvy digital gurus have taken to walking across offices and streets with tiny USB storage devices or 'flash drives' suspended by their necks. These drives, that may be a gigabyte or more in capacity, simply plug into the USB port of any computer or USB capable device, and files and images in the drive can subsequently be transferred. Some people store all their email contacts or business files on these little drives others have music files and photos, and most people have a combination of the lot. Just do not lose the drivethat's exactly what the neck strap is really for!

'Commercial Christmas' might have been devised for gadget lovers because there are lots of fantastic technologies designed specifically for home enjoyment. Take the humble PC and home printer while these may still be purchased as basic units, it makes much more sense to purchase a PC that doubles as a entertainment unit with high quality music playback, a sizable flat-screen display for watching TV and movie clips in the Internet, and several USB ports for connecting peripheral devices which range from digital cameras and spare hard drives to wireless routers and cellular phones. Thanks to Bluetooth, a number of these devices connect wirelessly, such as keyboards, computer mice and electronic photo storage devices. As for printers, why do not get an all round device using a photo printer, photocopier and scanner in 1 unit? These include photo editing, scanning and pc transfer software as well as USB ports and memory card slots.
Some people aren't inspired by the notion of seeing Internet content or digital photos using a computer screen, so join their computers or electronic storage devices to a huge plasma TV. Life as a couch potato has never been so great!
If a plasma TV is not in your financial reach, how about an impressive LCD computer screen which comes with built-in music speakers along with a dock for portable music players such as iPods? ViewSonic is 1 monitor brand which may offer this.
If you have too many people 'hanging off' your house wireless network but want a reliable Internet connection for work or assignments, you can invest into a brand new 'Vodem' modem from Vodafone or cellular data card out of Telecom. These plug into your notebook or desktop PC (or home entertainment device) and link you into the mobile broadband system in contrast to the landline service supporting your house wireless network. Because then you have a separate relationship, it's possible to have a fast, 'plug-and-play' Internet link independent of their house wireless network. The cost of cellular information has also come down; now you can purchase a gigabyte of cellular data from the Vodafone and Telecom for $49.95 per month.
