LOS ANGELES -- If you work with digital photos and need to write captions or notes on them, this is a solution to do just that. The Bamboo Fun Tablet enables you to edit, create borders or add handwritten notes on your photos.

Next up, the Wi-Fi radio lets you get more than 5,000 radio stations worldwide -- and it's free! Aside from accessing all the radio stations, Gadget Grrl also likes the small footprint on this device.

Now back to the tablet.

This gadget lets you edit, enhance, create borders or add handwritten notes directly on your digital photos.

For quick drawings that need to be shared, this is a good tool to easily upload a sketch to your sales team or corporate office.

If you can't draw, you can always take handwritten notes, mark on documents, or upload your hand written signature with this devices as well.

Bamboo Fun comes with additional software including Adobe's (ADBE) Photoshop Elements, Corel (CREL) Painter Essentials and the Nik Color Efex Pro (enabling you to touchup photos). Bamboo Fun is available in a variety of colors including black, blue and silver.

And if you want one of these to go with your new Apple (AAPL) MacBook, it also comes in bright, white.

Also included is a mouse that doesn't require batteries. It works off the surface of the tablet.

PHOENIX WI-FI RADIO
$149

This Wi-Fi radio (and an Internet connection) enables you to tune in and listen to over 5,000 radio stations from all over the planet, for free. To access the stations, you just tune in; there are no antennas required for reception. And you can also pick up podcasts to play them on the radio as well.

There are a number of preset stations already programmed on the radio and you can add more by going to wifi-radio.biz.

Aside from accessing all the radio stations, I also liked the small footprint on this device.

It is small (8.5 inch by 4.8 inch), lightweight (less then two pounds), portable and comes with rechargeable AA batteries (four hours life).

If you want to amp up the sound, you can also hook this up to some external speakers or a sound system.

A built-in alarm clock with snooze and sleep modes is another added bonus.
