`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.

`
`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.
