With the mass proliferation of Blackberries, iPhones, and Palm Treo’s, one might wonder why does anyone need a ultra-compact laptop.  If  a person can’t do something on their PDA device, they can just whip out their laptop — right?

Perhaps, perhaps not.

Even though I am a girl, I tend to see things in a mentality of  “how would that work on the road with my Harley“.   Yes, yes, this Neiman Marcus girl rides a Harley – what can I say, but “it’s a Dallas thang; if I have to explain you wouldn’t understand.”

This cool little gadget that I’ve got on my wish list is the Sony P Series family of laptops which are ultra-compact at just

4.8 “. x 9.7 “. x 0.8 ” (the size of a business envelope), and it comes in red, green, old, white, and black.  What makes this so fantastic is that it can easily slide into a saddlebag or touring luggage.  With built in camera, it makes things ever so easy to update your personal website and blog — and you know what that means:  If you can show that your motorcycle is actually used for business, it becomes one big, shiny tax write off!
