  • POCKET TO ME Wondering what to wear to your next office party? The Logitech Pocket Digital camera ($130) looks like a posh cigarette case and easily slips into a dinner jacket. The camera is only half an inch thick, but it packs an impressive 1.3-megapixel resolution and can store 52 images. If the party gets wild, you can snap every embarrassing moment.

    AIRING IT OUT If you're starting to overheat from the back-and-forth grind of business travel, the Kensington FlyFan ($25) may be just what the flight attendant ordered. It's powered by a laptop's USB port and cuts the air with 1 1/2-in.-wide blades made of fabric (so you can't cut yourself). You won't get there any faster, but at least you will look cool.

    PARTY MACHINE Need a way to make some big noise? Stick an Olympia Soundbug ($50, at www.shoplifestyle.com ) onto any wood, metal or glass surface, plug it into the headphone jack of your laptop or Walkman and listen to the surface start to resonate like a real speaker. Hook up a pair of the mouse-size devices, and enjoy stereo sound. Their sucker-like push rings lock them firmly in place--even on windows.
