T900 Personal Interactive Communicator
Motorola, $179
Send instant messages without a computer using these two-way pagers, available in four hot colors. Best of all, some pager services sell the units for as little as half the list price.

Panablack CT27D10
Panasonic, $399.95
What good is a hot new game system if it's wired to a hand-me-down TV? Get one with a big screen and S-Video input for hard-core graphics. You can't do better than this 27-incher for the price.

UFR-850 Family Radios
Unwired, $130/pair
Stay in touch on family vacations with these water-resistant walkie-talkies. They're easier to use and cost less than most others. Plus, they're super durable.

Hipzip
Iomega, $295.99
It's easy to get with the MP3 revolution. This portable player uses PocketZip disks instead of flash memory. The disks are cheaper for saving mixes and sharing with friends — and replacing when lost.

w.ear
Sony, $29.99
This year, teenage ears will be wrapped in these, not just because they're more comfortable than most phones or ear buds but because color plates, sold separately, ensure they'll go with the latest fashions.

JamCam 3.0
KB Gear, $99
The trouble with old-school cameras is film: it's pricey and needs processing. JamCam doesn't use film. This entry-level digital camera keeps pace with your inspiration and budget.

PlayStation 2
Sony, $299.99
Right now it may be impossible to find this killer game console — and just as hard to find good titles to play on it. Don't worry. Soon it will be everywhere, with titles galore.
