Streets & Trips

Dreaming of his next vacation, Steve takes you out for a spin to show off Microsoft’s Streets & Trips software. The GPS locator means your laptop always knows where you are, adjusting your route and pit stops in case things get spontaneous along the way. Need to placate complaining kidlets in the back seat? Samsung’s portable DVD player or digital audio player can entertain them with music and stories.

Stay in Touch

Caroline demonstrates how to keep in touch with yourcontacts when you’re on your adventure, by importing addresses to a web-based email account. And want to keep an eye on things from afar? The Live Motion WebCam from Creative Labs can detect motion and send images through email or the web for remote security monitoring.
