Version 3.0 of GoodLink supports smart phones, providing a synchronized connection to Microsoft Exchange Server and other applications. * Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset �� <http://www.logitech.com/> Logitech's Bluetooth headset includes the Bluetooth 1.2 chipset, and is designed to be lighter, offer more comfort and reduces noise interference. The device uses Logitech's WindStop technology, which aims to reduce noise in windy conditions. The headset claims to offer seven hours of continuous talk time and up to 300 hours of standby time, and includes a call/answer button on the headset. * Wi-Fi TV �� <http://www.onairentertainment.com/> Sometime in the not-so-distant future, you'll be able to go to a wireless hot spot, turn on the laptop and watch some TV. OnAir Entertainment is delivering a media server to hot spot providers (including airports, train stations, hotels, convention centers, planes, etc.) that lets users watch live satellite or cable television and video-on-demand content over a Wi-Fi connection. Users can also download music, movies and games through the system. * Skype for Pocket PC �� <http://www.skype.com/> If you've ever tried Skype's PC-based VoIP telephony service, you'll be happy to know that the company has come out with a version for the Pocket PC. Using a Wi-Fi-enabled Pocket PC, you will be able to make voice calls from the device. The application uses the same core features as the regular Skype software, including free Skype-to-Skype worldwide calling, free Skype conference calling, instant messaging, online presence, contact lists and calls to landline and mobile telephone numbers. For the road warrior looking to get away from mobile phone roaming charges, this is worth a look. * WOW Smart Pad �� <http://www.workonce.com/> Anyone who remembers the IBM/Cross SmartPad, which looked like a notebook pad but actually recorded a person's handwriting electronically, will want to check out the WOW Smart Pad from Work Once Wireless. The Smart Pad is a system for processing forms that lets users simply and rapidly capture data through paper forms, while also providing benefits of electronic collection and data processing. In addition to the 10 products we've highlighted in this week's newsletters, there were a bunch of other products launched at the DEMOmobile show - head to <http://www.idgexecforums.com/demomobile2/> to see the entire list. _______________________________________________________________ To contact: Keith Shaw Keith Shaw is Senior Reviews Editor at Network World.
