As far as tech gadgets are concerned, it seems like iPhones and BlackBerrys have all the popularity. But in the world of small-business owners (and consumers), netbook computers, with prices below $500, are increasingly popular.

Google finally launched its long-awaited voice service, aptly named Google Voice. It's an outgrowth of a service it acquired last year, Grand Central, which gives you one number for all your telephone needs. When people call this number, all the phones you program into the system are called simultaneously. So no matter where you are, you can be reached on the phone, and even better, you only have one number to give out.
