If you're like me, you work with technology all day long but still can't enough of the latest electronic innovations. In other words, you're a geek.
If so, check out our second annual look at some of the latest gadgets and gizmos that can help an IT professional get through the day (or night). In the hope of giving you some insight into what's cool and not so cool, we drew on the talents of technology editors from throughout TechTarget's portfolio of Web sites, newsletters, magazines and conferences. The latest bleeding-edge mobile phones, handhelds, notebooks, home office gizmos, and other fun devices were reviewed. "Must-haves" include the Palm Tungsten T3, D-Link AirPlus wireless router, Yamaha's Home Theater System, and much more.
The Gadgets and Gizmos '03 guide is available here. Have fun!
Until next time, Tim
