GearMania: A Surfing Camera

The Consumer Electronics Show is over. Now it's time to hone our list of cool stuff to try. Like the Palm Pre, which will single-handedly bring Palm back from the dead. We also like Powermat's new wireless phone charger, and this ultralight student laptop from Intel. South Korea's LG Electronic garnered a ton of attention for its Dick Tracy-inspired wristwatch cell phone, but it won't be available for months. Meanwhile, we will have to make do with Sony's first Wi-Fi equipped camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-G3. It's the first Wi-Fi camera with a built-in browser that lets users access wireless networks, making for easy upload to sites like YouTube and Picasa. The G3, featuring a high-resolution touchscreen, 4 gigabytes of built-in memory, a 4X optical zoom and 10.1 megapixel captures, will be available at the SonyStyle website for about $499.
