GADGET OF THE YEAR: Wow.  Wowwww.  Said it twice.  Did this the first time I fired up the HP (it hurts to say that: I really liked the Compaq brand) iPaq 5455.  This is one really neat device.  While I find the fingerprint biometric reader totally cool, it's the built-in Bluetooth and WI-FI capabilities that really set this thing apart from the rest.   If you owned an earlier iPaq, you probably worried what one was to do when the battery finally died.  They fixed that with the 5455.  It has a removable battery which can be changed or upgraded.  THIS was an excellent investment. 2:44:56 PM

UNITING UNDER GROOVE: Jon Udell really gets what we are trying to do at Groove.  His Groove 2.5 TestCenter article in InfoWorld is the best articulation of Groove the platform, that I have ever seen.  1:54:11 PM
