Maria Sansone's Wish List
-
Treo 700
Smart phone for the busy girl
"Maria needs a smart phone to check email, send IMs, surf the web, and keep her schedule coordinated. I recommend one of the new Treo 700 smart phones with EV-DO capabilities for faster web surfing, such as the 700p or 700w models. The Treo 680 is also a great option if she wants a thinner, chic phone that fits in her purse."

Philips Ambilight
One Swanky HDTV
"Since Maria needs an HDTV that fits in her NYC apartment, I recommend the Philips Ambilight for a number of reasons. First, the ambient lighting will reduce eyestrain in the dark, and create an illusion of depth perfect for a small apartment. Second, this stylish TV will add a touch of cool to any party. And finally, the 42-inch LCD is thin, so you don't lose floor space."

Sanyo Xacti Video Camera
A must-have for Internet video stars
"Once Maria makes the switch to HDTV, she'll also want a video camera that records in high-definition, yet is small enough to fit in a handbag. I chose the extremely portable Sanyo Xacti because high-def camcorders don't get smaller than this. At just 4.9 ounces, the Xacti is preferred by video bloggers for its size, as well as its 10x optical zoom, roomy 2.2-inch LCD screen, and the ability to take 5.1-megapixel still images."

Sonos ZonePlayer Bundle
Rock out in every room
"With the help of the Sonos Zone Player Bundle, Maria will be able to stream her entire music collection to every room in the house. No gathering will be complete without the party mode to get the soiree started. When she comes home tired from a busy day at "The 9," she'll love being able to control all her music through a wireless remote control from any room. It doesn't get easier than that."
