Get some shopping ideas here. Sprint PPC-6600 Pocket PC The PPC-6600 is the most powerful handheld for Sprint subscribers. But it falls short of its Cingular, T-Mobile, and Verizon brethren by not offering a high-speed network, and the camera fails to impress. Find out if these are enough to keep it from a good rating. Bubbler Whips up Web Sites in Minutes Bubbler is a unique cross between a blogging tool and traditional (and less approachable) Web site creation software. Its tabbed interface lets you easily post blog-style text entries, plus richer content (to show and share photos and other files). Will its multimedia-savvy publishing capabilities find the app an audience? We'll let you know. A Small-Office Monochrome Workhorse For those on the lookout for a monochrome laser for their small office, the TallyGenicom Intelliprint 9035n is worth a look. It boasts both a 550- and 150-sheet paper tray, with an optional duplexer. How does its text and photo quality stack up to the competition? We give you the low-down.
