With the 2008 Business Mileage Deduction of 58.5 cents per mile, and with gas prices at record levels, it’s really a no brainer! |

| Fatman iTube | Michael Silver | Audio High | Jun 2007 |
The iTube's warmth and liquidity very nicely smoothes the rough edges of the iPod's output and makes the music surprisingly good for such a small, inexpensive system. |
| The QMotions-Golf™ Indoor Golf Simulator | Brandon Hetherington | Dec 2004 |
Instead of using the Mouse for controlling golf swings, The QMotions-Golf™ Indoor Golf Simulator uses patented electronic technology to recognize swing speed and measure club head directional impact to translate actual golf swings into popular golf game titles like EA SPORTS™ Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 2004 (included with the Simulator), and others. | |

These include stadium lights, cordless phones, microwave ovens, wireless LANs, and anything else that operates in the unlicensed 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency band. | |
| The Trinexus TVPostman | Rob Williams | Apr 2001 |
From the comfort of your favourite lazy-boy, you can write e-mail from the wireless keyboard and still watch TV thanks to picture in picture viewing. You can’t ask for an easier solution to stay in contact with friends and family. | |
| Dolphin Pocket Digital Camera | Bob Hetherington | Apr 2001 |
For $100 this is a great little toy ... with many uses. For example ... it took me about 15 minutes to take photos of every nook and cranny of our home for insurance purposes. I burned them onto a CD and now have a record in case of theft or fire. | |
