`High-tech hobbies

`Zipit Wireless Messenger Z2
`Teenagers and instant
`messaging (IM) go together like
`pumpkins and Halloween -- just
`ask any parent who's tried to
`get on the family computer
`while an IM-ing teen is busily
`chatting online.
`The brand-new Zipit Wireless
`Messenger Z2 offers a solution:
`free messaging, no computer
`required.
`Rechargeable and pocket-size,
`the portable device has a full
`keyboard and lets you use the
`most popular IM applications,
`AOL, MSN and Yahoo! It works
`wirelessly, on any open Internet
`connection. Users can
`participate in many
`conversations at once, using
`any combination of IM channels.
`We found it easy to use, and appreciated that it also includes a music player that
`plays from a memory card or streamed from the Internet, plus a photo viewer.
`The bad news: For now, it's available online only, and the manufacturer does not
`expect to start shipping for four to six weeks. But the good news: Once you get it,
`you're set; there are no per-message charges or monthly fees.
`Details: $149.99; www.zipitwireless.com
