High-tech gifts Here are six gadgets for colleagues, friends or yourself assuming the bonus comes through
1 Blackberry 6720 It’s an e-mail device! It’s a phone! The Blackberry has always been the ultimate symbol of the important (or self-important) executive, someone so far up the ladder they need to be in constant e-mail contact. Well, now it comes with a telephone built-in. From £200 plus £20 per month subscription
2 Sony Ericsson P900 For the less exhibitionist exec, the new Sony Ericsson P900 is a phone that doubles up as a handheld computer, storing all your crucial life equipment. It also makes a nifty games machine. From £320
3 iPaq 5550 Of course, if you’d rather not be at the constant beck and call of the office, your clients and the family, the iPaq 5550 could be more up your street. It synchronises with your desktop PC, so you have all your information with you on the road, while its wireless networking allows you to get online when you really need to. £499
4 iPod Sure, you can buy an attachment that turns this into the world’s best digital voice recorder, but you really want it for its ability to carry 10,000 songs in your pocket. From £249
5 Hewlett Packard Compaq nx9000 To make the most of the wireless world you need a computer, such as this laptop, with an Intel Centrino chip that allows easy access to wireless internet connections. Spend an afternoon in Starbucks while telling your boss you’re with a client. From £1,060
6 Olympus E-1 When marketing budgets don’t stretch to professional photos, why not use the Olympus E-1, a purpose-designed digital SLR camera? It has all the advantages of the digital age: instant pictures, easily uploaded to your computer. £1,750
