Ringing in the Spring.

The article evaluates electronic products. Sprint has a whole line of Sanyo phones which are basically the same unit with different feature levels. The most expensive of them is the SPC-5500 (VM4500), with its built in 310k still and video camera, while the 7300 is designed for an active lifestyle. The unit is rugged, but comfortable and easy to flip open Kirk-communicator-style. The display is not transflective, which would have been a nice touch considering its take me anywhere style . The speakerphone works nicely, and quickly becomes indispensable. The Sony Vaio Z1, suggested retail price: $ 2,299.99, packs a lot into a lightweight laptop. Thin and sleek, with a signature curve along the sides that looks like it is just there for coolness but also protect the ports and strengthens the magnesium case. The full featured Z1 features a 1.7 GHz Centrino processor, 512 megabytes of minimum memory, and a 60 gigabytes hard drive. The real strengths of this laptop are its ergonomics. The Zire 72 has a 1.2 megapixel camera and MP3 player. Though it does not have Wi-Fi, it does have Bluetooth. It does not have a cradle. One has to start a Hot Sync from either the Palm's desktop or by pressing the star by its writing area.
