Road Ready

When you're in the air or on the highway, travel can be messy and uncomfortable if you're not prepared. These elegant gifts will keep you packed, organized, on the right road, and in the right frame of mind.



Smartphone: Palm Treo 650
Without a doubt, Palm's Treo 650 is the single most coveted tech gift for 2005. Why? It is a high mark (and the current standard-bearer) in the ongoing convergence between PDAs and mobile phones.

An instant classic the moment it was released, the Treo 650 ($149 or $199, depending on your mobile provider) packs massive, unprecedented power and functionality into a surprisingly small package.

A full QWERTY keyboard. Sixteen-bit color. A massive 320 x 320 transflective display. Easy dialing via the screen or keyboard. Bluetooth. A VGA camera. Infrared. SD expansion slots for storing MP3s and photographs.

And just below the surface lies the elegant, feature-filled Palm PDA, which comes with a host of applications and is quite capable of managing every facet of your life (or distracting you from them). Even confirmed technophobes find themselves falling in love with this smart cookie.  more info>
