well , When you're out and about, these fun, powerful, and easy-to-use devices will keep you connected, entertained, and, in the case of the electric bicycle, maybe even a little more fit (if you can be bothered to pedal from time to time). They won't bog you down, whether your travels take you around town or around the world.
A Thumb's Best Friend
While others try to convince themselves that the iPhone's touchscreen isn't clumsy, you'll be spared their secret frustrations when you use the Motorola (NYSE:MOT) Q9h smart phone. Its plump, soft-touch QWERTY keyboard makes firing off e-mails, taking notes, and entering Web addresses exceptionally easy. This powerful update to the Motorola Q comes with the zippy Opera Web browser (for taking full advantage of AT&T's (NYSE:T) high-speed HSDPA data network) and stereo Bluetooth, so you can listen to your tunes with wireless headphones. You can even get turn-by-turn directions with the new assisted GPS feature.

Now in Stereo
Like listening to MP3s on your cell phone? Check out the Plantronics (NYSE:PLT) Voyager 855. It includes a detachable cable with a tiny earbud at the end, which allows it to convert from a Bluetooth headset to wireless stereo headphones. If you're rocking out and a call comes in, just slide the boom microphone out to answer it. Slide it back in to end the call; the music will pick up where you left off.

Instant Entertainment
The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable media player does more than play your digital music and video files. With it, you can order and download flicks wirelessly from a Wi-Fi hot spot. Fire it up, and you'll be able to choose from more than 5,000 movies on CinemaNow and stream free videos from YouTube. Movies look great on the 4.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen. Capacities range from 4 gigabytes (enough room for five movies) to 160 gigabytes (200 movies).
