`
`LOS ANGELES -- Here's a product straight out of the hip teen and tween scene -- Z2 Zipit, a wireless instant messenger.
`Gadget Grrl suggests this gadget is a must-have for travelers, especially if business takes you overseas and the firm
`won't spring for a large international cellphone bill. Meanwhile, the Mouse Trap is a clever organizer that doubles as a
`mouse pad.

`Z2 Zipit IM
`$149.99

`
`The Z2 Zipit Wireless Instant Messenger is currently being marketed to teens and tweens, but I think there are some apps
`for the mobile executive as well. This device is designed specifically for instant messaging, so if you've got an IM account
`with AOL, Yahoo! or MSN you can chat for free with anyone else who also has an account. The specs on the pocket
`sized Z2 are that it has a full QWERTY keyboard and four- to eight-hours of battery life, and it's 4 x 3.5 x 3/4 inches in
`size.
`
`The big news here is that there are no contracts or message fees and this works wherever there is an open or free Wi-Fi
`network.
`
`One of my ideas for mobile executives would be for sales teams who could use these at tradeshows to stay connected.
`Or, if your business takes you overseas and your company doesn't want to spring for a cellphone with worldwide service,
`these might be a good alternative. And if you've got to communicate in an environment where cellphones are not allowed,
`the backlit keyboard comes in handy, because it can be seen in the dark.
`
`And finally, when your company computer crashes, this little device without spam or pop-ups to worry about could be the
`key to communicating.
`
`By the way, it also comes loaded with a music player and photo viewer with an optional SD card in case you want to
`share photos or tunes.
`
`I'd like to see this priced under $100, but for now I think these could end up in the pockets of some executives.
`
`Mouse Trap
`$12.99
`belkin.com
`
`The name says it all -- it traps your mouse, thumb drives, pens and whatever else you feel like zipping into it. Plus, it also
`acts as a mouse pad. Made of neoprene and available in several bright and easy-to-see colors, this could be a real time
`saver on the road.

`
`It snaps onto any case -- un-zip it, plug in and you are up and running. The mouse pad won't slip and anything to help
`keep travel items from getting lost is something worth carrying.
`
`Site to See: Deezer.Com
`
`Deezer is a new music downloading site with a twist. Creating an account is free and so are the downloads. Advertising
`has allowed for this guilt-free pleasure. The French-based site comes in several different languages and what makes this
`different than others is that you can request songs by artist or title, so you're not relegated to a radio channel that plays
`songs by the artist.
