hello I'm Tom Merritt editor from cnet.com and welcome to road warrior where we take a look at the hottest gadgets for life on the go coming up a Wi-Fi camera to avoid a laptop to love and chocolate let's start with a portable DVD player from Panasonic it has a nine inch screen but wait till you see how flexible that screen can get it has a sort of swiveling armature that the screen is attached to so it gives you a lot more flexibility in viewing angles and whatnot when you're watching this player that can be particularly useful in a plane or any other cramped area where you might be using this player and wanting the best viewing angle possible the LS 90 weighs in at a spelt 2.75 pounds and we got the battery to last more than five hours not bad next up we'll greenwald gives you the straight scoop on the 6 megapixel kodak easyshare it does have this listing stylus so it's not quite as bad navigating the touchscreen as it could be but it's still clunky and very unintuitive unfortunately this camera suffers from performance issues and its images just aren't that good clear enough willsez if you want more than Wi-Fi in a touchscreen get a different camera now some positivity Michelle Thatcher has a new ultra portable Toshiba Satellite laptop it's almost the same as the Toshiba teka m6 but this one's fancier really the only difference between the two are these multi media controls above the keyboard you've got web and media player quick launch buttons as well as disc playback controls otherwise they're pretty much the same you've got a very comfortable keyboard it's good for pretty extended bouts of typing it's very impressive for an ultra portable to have a keyboard this comfortable Michelle did think the trackpad was a little small and noted the U 205 has no built-in webcam finally sénèque time the delectable and much ballyhooed lg chocolate V X 8500 the main display is very attractive can be a little hard to see when the backlighting Assaf it's also very reflective and it attracts fingerprints but it is very bright and colorful shows everything pretty vividly navigation buttons are a little different almost resemble an iPod in a way I do have rounds mechanism they can have buttons on either side buttons on the bottom as well these are our touch buttons so I like a touch pad you don't actually press down on anything just simply have to press your finger against it Kent says it really doesn't have anything other phones don't it just sort of looks nice hey I work for the Motorola RAZR that's it for this edition of Road Warrior I'm Tom Merritt check back next time for more gadgets to keep you armed and dangerous ly productive
