Samsung SGH-a717

The Samsung SGH-a717 crams a sharp camera, AT&T’s Video Share, and plenty of entertainment options into one the world’s thinnest HSDPA handsets.

Taking a design cue from last year’s SPH-M610, which was billed as the thinnest clamshell in the U.S., Samsung once again sets another svelte standard with the SGH-a717, which stands as one of the thinnest HSDPA flip phones on AT&T.

Toshiba Tecra A9-S9013

This business-friendly notebook is rugged enough to take abuse but needs more RAM for Vista.

“Business” is the first word the Toshiba Tecra A9-S9013 brings to mind. Sporting a simple design, the Tecra is a durable, reasonably priced solution for the clumsy notebook owner. But despite packing Intel’s latest Santa Rosa chipset, it doesn’t have the best performance punch.
