...Force to fly over Iraq. As anybody who has watched CNN's Baghdad bomb-damage reports knows, it's now easy to pull up satellite images of a major military target and dive into a 3-D landscape rich in hills and valleys, all built from real-world data. Zoom in close enough, and you can see cars on the streets, the shadows of trees and the swimming pools of Saddam's palaces...
...been fueled not only by a strong trade-in market--RVs depreciate more slowly than cars--but also by the emergence of a new must-have feature called a slide-out. These expanding walls dramatically increase an RV's living space.

It is the only PDA with a 2-megapixel digital camera built in (with flash and zoom!). The large swivel screen displays 65,000 colors--great for running miniature slide shows on the go. And I loved the gorgeous stereo sound on the headsets when I played MP3s. The only things missing on this $800 device are easy-to-use Web browsing and e-mail. Synching up with...
