Sure, it's fair game to cram extra features into PDAs, but stuffing a "removable cellphone" into a personal digital assistant's hidden compartment isn't likely to go over well in this millennium. Nevertheless, a hopeful patent filing spills the deets concerning a comical device that apparently disregards the handsets we so often refer to as smartphones, as it describes a diminutive dedicated cellphone that clips into a PDA when not needed. Additionally, the mystical concept allows each device to sync information with one another, and claims to be a "do-it-all" machine that curiously requires two separate devices to pull it all off. Of course, the only obvious perks here are the ability the downsize and carry along just the mobile while your nagging relative enjoys a few of your MP3s on the PDA side, but considering the blossoming market of true all-in-one conglomerates, we don't see this one moving one inch past the paperwork.

Although these newfangled projectors with document cameras flanking their sides get hammered in the style department, we can't deny the extra utility for the conference room, biology lab, or off-the-cuff presentation, and Toshiba is kicking out yet another rendition with budget-conscience consumers in mind. Sure, the company's TLP-XC2500U was a fine performer, but since its new TDP-SC35U is nearly half the price, we doubt the former is now worth the price of admission. Nevertheless, Tosh's newest rendition sports a 800 x 600 resolution, 2,000 ANSI lumens, DLP technology, 2,000:1 contrast ratio, and of course, a 648 x 468 resolution camera on the flexible swingarm. As for inputs, you'll find a pair of VGA along with a single composite and S-Video, as well as stereo in / out and the ability to handle both NTSC and PAL. While not particularly portable, it weighs in at a manageable 8.6 pounds and touts a 14.5- x 10.2- x 3.9-inch enclosure, so making the trip between board rooms shouldn't be all that burdensome. Regardless, Toshiba is hoping to catch more than a few corporate upgrade dollars by pricing this one right, as this multifaceted PJ will only set you back $899, and is available as we speak.
