Double-Play Gadgets to Go

LOS ANGELES -- Talk about a two-for-one! Here are a couple of ideas for the mobile executive who likes to travel light!

Gadget Grrl has a nifty pen that doubles as a USB flashdrive. Plus, mobile executives may pick up this mobile phone that has 4GB of memory and the ability to play several music formats including, MP3, WMA and ACC. While there are some drawbacks, some mobile executives might be willing to pay more for style than substance.

HB8077 Pen Drive $29.95 www.hantat.com

For something truly unique, it's hard to beat this new device for novelty and design. It's a pen and it's a USB flash drive. It comes in variable sizes from 64MB to 4GB. This is for the mobile executive who doesn't like carrying one iota of extra gear. Simplify your travel with two devices in one. It also comes with a lanyard, so you can wear it around your neck.

Serenata Music/Mobile Phone about $1,500 www.bang-olufsen.com

Design can be pricey but is it worth it? Money-to-burn types might like to splurge on the new Bang and Olufsen Serenata music/mobile phone. What you get for the price is a slick -- newly designed by David Lewis -- phone.

For starters, it looks like an upside down iPod, because there is a scroll wheel on top and the 2.26" LCD is on the bottom.

The scroll wheel is what you use to navigate between the two key features on this phone. When in the music mode, there is a red color-coded theme to let you know you're in that mode. Whereas, in phone mode, it is blue color-coded. The phone features are limited to a Web browser, file manager and organizer.

One disappointment we discovered was that there is no built-in digital camera, still or video. However, you can play back video, but we'd still like to be able to snap a shot.
