Just because you’re a business man doesn’t mean your gadgets have to look as dull as your grey suit. Accessorise with this troupe of business-savvy tech and you’ll be standing out from the boardroom crowd in no time…
Sony Ericsson T715
The Sony Ericsson T715 may not be out yet, but it’ll certainly help you stand out from the BlackBerry boys when it arrives later this Summer. A mobile powerhouse it’s a sexy slider that measures just 91.5x48x14.9mm and weighs just shy of 97g. Business-wise, it’s got a smart desktop that keeps you updated on appointments and events, and it organises email and SMS messages historically. Sony Ericsson’s thrown in a 3.2-megapixel camera, Google Maps and AccuWeather access, so you never get caught short in a shower.
BenQ GP1 Mini LED projector
Boost your PowerPoint presentations up to size with the BenQ GP1 Mini LED projector. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it’s powerful enough to project an image that’s 80-inches across. Weighing just 640g, it may be light, but it’s not light on features: it’s compatible with digital cameras, PDAs, iPods, and smartphones, and has an array of connectivity options. You even get special gubbinry like auto-play, auto-keystone, and auto-search. And all for the tidy sum of £499.
Porsche Design Briefcase M
Roll up into the office car park in your brand new Boxster, then put colleagues to shame with your Porsche Design Briefcase M. Porsche makes more than just cars nowadays. As well as a line in sportswear and trainers, it also now makes briefcases. This one is available in six subtle hues to compliment your tie collection and is a lesson in understated elegance… unlike your multi-coloured socks.
Aliph Jawbone Prime
You don’t want to look like Ian Beale when wearing your Bluetooth headset, so plump for the Jawbone Prime for some more discreet Bluetoothing. Available for approximately £90, the Jawbone Prime is ten times more efective than the Jawbone II and cancels out wind noise that’s blowing at speeds of 10mph. Using bone conduction technology, it gets clear sounds into your head, even in the most noisy environments. Whether you want your boss’s rants coming at you loud and clear on the train is another matter.
Dell Adamo
A netbook or MacBook Air would get you laughed out the boardroom. The Dell Adamo, though, is both smart and elegant in equal measures. Packing a 13.4-inch screen it’s big enough so you won’t be squinting, but it measures just 17.78mm at it’s thickest point, so it’ll have no problem sliding into your Porsche Design manbag. Costing around a hefty £1,650 it’ll send your kudos soaring when you whip it out for that account-winning PowerPoint presentation.
