(FORTUNE Small Business) – --Panasonic RR-VS321 IC Recorder $149.95 Store your thoughts digitally--at least the ones you articulate. Voice quality on the top setting (16 minutes) is good, but it stinks in the long-lasting mode (105 minutes). www.panasonic.com

--Dymo LabelWriter 330 Turbo $209.99 Idiot-proof ease of use, integration with Microsoft Word, and the ability to print security badges and Internet postage strips make the Dymo a dynamo of monochrome labeling. www.dymo.com

--CardScan Executive $299 If James Bond worked trade shows, he'd use this. Scan in a business card, and contact information is sent to your PC and PDA. The recognition software isn't perfect, so like 007, you'll have to go in and clean things up. www.cardscan.com --Alan Cohen
