Camera-Phone Doubles as an Office. Wireless phones are continuing to morph into personal organizers that include everything but the kitchen sink. Although the new Hitachi G1000 does not offer a sink, you can at least use it to take a picture of one. The new phone comes with a built-in digital camera along with the Microsoft Pocket PC operating system, an integrated keyboard for thumb-tapping data entry and a bright screen that displays more than 65,000 colors.

Bluetooth Cameras!.

This is the new Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless digital camera featuring Bluetooth technology. Neato! I definitely want one of these bad boys. [Russell Beattie Notebook] I don't feature gadgets much on this blog, but this one seems like such a winning concept. It gives Bluetooth a vital killer app, and frees digital cameras from wires. Just last night I was looking at digital cameras at Best Buy. If this had been there, I would have bought it. [Scott Mace: Home networking]
