Mobile tech for women

March 17, 2006

OK, ladies, you know as well as I do that tech toys aren't just for the boys--why should they have all the fun? These gadgets aren't gender-specific (and I'm not sure if you're like me, but I'm not buying the "Hey, it's pink! It's for women!" philosophy), and though we use tech a little differently than men, we still enjoy them in our everyday lives--for work, play, and communication. So for all the wired women out there, we've assembled some of the best gadgets for your on-the-go lifestyle. By day, the Palm Treo 650/700w, the Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t, and the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium can keep you connected to your office and colleagues by offering e-mail/cell phone capabilities; a versatile, solid-performing laptop; and a durable flash drive for all your files, respectively. For a night out on the town, the Motorola Razr V3c or the GSM Motorola Razr V3 will help you coordinate plans with your friends, while the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T9 will capture all the fun moments; as a bonus, both are ultracompact, so they'll easily slip into your purse. And for your downtime, kick back with some tunes and photos on the Creative Zen Micro Photo. We don't have room to list all the great tech out there, but here are a few more alternatives to consider: the Sharp M4000, the Apple iPod Nano, the Kodak EasyShare V570, and the Nokia 7380. Also, we'd love to hear about your mobile tech setup. Share your story with us here.
