...MacBook has most of what its pricier sibling the MacBook Pro offers: a built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote so that you can access music and videos from across the room, the break-away magnetic power cable, even wireless Bluetooth support for cell phones, cameras and certain types of mouse. It can even support an external monitor in addition to its own screen...
...play videos and music, and its battery provides an extra hour of talk time. Unlike other Windows Mobile products, it comes with speaker-independent voice recognition from VoiceSignal - a must for anyone who wants to talk and drive. This is also the first U.S. handset to stream stereo Bluetooth to wireless headphones.

"We always try to be edgy and different with our ads, but this time we wanted to go beyond the traditional," says Jeffrey Moran, a spokesman for Absolut, which has a similar sign up on Sunset Boulevard...
Entertainment isn't the only thing being advertised on digital signs. When Lancôme launched its new fragrance, Hypnôse, in France last summer on JCDecaux bus-shelter signs, cell-phone users with Bluetooth could download coupons for a sample. The supply ran out in three days. In the fall, British fashion retailer New Look used Hypertags, small electronic devices embedded in billboard panels that sent digital discount vouchers via infrared and Bluetooth technology to customers to spend immediately at nearby stores. Hypertag counts Procter & Gamble, Ford, Nike and Vodafone as clients. "It tends to be big companies who want...
