With the small Black Pearl GSM, you can also transmit that FM signal, use it as a USB memory drive with it’s existing 128MB (it charges via the USB interface, by the way) and add additional storage up to 1GB with the Trans-Flash slot or use wireless Bluetooth to transfer your data from this small, almost thumb drive size mobile phone.

Desktops are really becoming more popular as things are becoming more wireless in general. The new wireless keyboard and mouse combination from Logitech further enhances the move towards disconnected innovation, and is doing it with some style.
