With all the high-tech gadgets on the market,
anyone can play James Bond. Business travelers and their
secret-agent alter egos can stay connected to their e-mail accounts
with BlackBerry wireless e-mail devices from
Research In Motion. The handhelds come bundled
with e-mail and organizer software, are available in two sizes, and
have up to 5MB of memory. Optional software converts them into
pagers and Web browsers. Compatible with Microsoft Outlook and
Internet e-mail, they work with existing e-mail accounts. Using the
included cradle and PUMATECH Intellisync software, the handhelds
easily sync up with desktop PCs for more complicated save-the-world
projects. The pager-size unit sells for $399; the PDA-size is $499.
