Here’s to the savvy working girl. You're on the fast track to success and you've got the most important aspects of your life all wrapped up. From one career-minded woman to another, here are some gadgets that will help you rock it to the next level.
MacBook Pro
This computer highlights your best qualities: you're stylish, smart,
and you know what's up. With this machine you can work on anything
that's thrown at you and wrap it up in a cool, multi-media package
thanks to the iLife suite that comes with the machine. Instant access
to tools that help you create blogs, movies, photo albums, and more
will easily set you apart from the rest of the chicks in your office.
3-in-1Breakfast Maker
I
care about eating breakfast, but I care more about getting to work on
time. I need every bit of help I can get in the morning. You have to
see it to believe it, but this machine can make coffee, toast and eggs
all at once and have them ready for you in just minutes! You can get a
balanced meal and make it to work on time. Every working woman needs
one of these.
Thirsty Light
Because
I work so much my green thumb has turned brown. These little sticks
will help your plants stay alive and get your thumbs back to that
brilliant shade of Kelly green with the blink of a light. When you see
it flash, it lets you know it's time to give a little H2O love to the
plants in your place.
Nokia Wireless Keyboard
Most
of you already have a Blackberry or another PDA device you're addicted
to, so I won't give you a newer, better option just yet. These kinds of
devices are essential to running your business when you're making deals
on the road, but are often limiting when it comes time to type out long
documents. The Nokia Wireless Keyboard is a fully functioning Qwerty
keyboard that folds up into CD case-sized unit – making it easy to
throw in any bag and take with you! Through your phone's Bluetooth
connection, this baby allows you to utilize your PDA more like a
computer to get the job done fast.
Digital Voice Recorder
Record
yourself (or your boss and coworkers) with this voice recorder, then
let the lovely little robot inside turn it into text. Imagine the
possibilities: you can zone out a bit during a long meeting and still
get the job done! Of course, you would never do that, but in case you
happen to be dealing with 1,000 other things as your boss is running
through your to-do list, now you have a backup system that will assure
your every “i” will be dotted and “t” will be crossed. With a capacity
of 185 hours, this device truly has you covered.
The Orbit Portable Speaker
Work will always be rocking thanks to this little portable speaker with
a surprisingly big sound. Keep it on your desk or take it with you on
location to help energy levels stay up. Use it with any MP3 player
you've got.
Jot
Because
you have a million things running through your head at once, you may
need a new system for keeping track of all your to-dos. I often have to
leave myself messages as a reminder and eventually I'll listen to it
and write it down on a piece of paper that I could possibly lose.
Needless to say, this system doesn’t work. But I've found the perfect
solution: Jott. With this free service, I simply call my Jott number
and voice the message to the service. In turn, Jott emails or texts me
with my note right that instant. You can also use the service to call
in reminders or add tasks to an online calendar all through voice
recognition technology.
Belkin Cush Top
Dedicated
working girls everywhere are never far from their computers. So keep it
comfortable, ladies, with this lap top cushion that rules. It's
ergonomically the best solution for computing while you're chillin’ on
the couch, catching up on Perez or working on a document. I love the
way this thing feels, functions, and keeps things looking good in my
living room.
Mimobot USB Storage Drives
Transfer those important files from your office PC to a clients’ system
in style with these friendly little storage drives that will quickly
become your travel companion. They're cute and can hold anything from
music and documents to videos and passwords. Load up all four gigs to
have all your important documents with you at all times – never leave
home without your bot!
Sneak Peek – Coming Soon!
Texas Instruments Pico Projector
Make a lasting impact on that group of old-school Luddites when you
bust out your cell phone, pull up your PowerPoint, then project it on
an open wall like it ain’t no thang. They'll have no choice but to just
look at you and say, "Yes!"
