Business presentations can be nightmarish, especially when you're on the road and you haven't made friends with the techie at the projector. You can kiss those jitters goodbye with the GyroTransport, a new toy from Thomson/RCA's Gyration. The company is known for its wireless "air mouse," which moves the cursor when waved in the air. The GyroTransport (available late spring for $200; www.gyration.com uses the same technology, letting you point-and-click through slides with a flick of a key-chain-size mouse. But here's the coolest feature: the gadget's receiver holds 1 GB of internal flash memory, plenty of space to store PowerPoint presentations and other multimedia files. It can also be paired with any PC in seconds, no software installation required. All you have to do is plug it into a USB port on the conference-room PC, and you're ready to go--whether or not you're tight with the guy in IT.
