Stout: "My digital Chinese dictionary by Besta."

Sunny Lee: "My Blackberry for sure, I'm lost without it."

Sin Chung Kai: "My O2 Xda Iii mobile handset. I always use it to make phone calls, check & send emails/SMS, plan my schedule and read documents. Without it, I would be 'disconnected' from the rest of the world and my daily business would become a mess."

"Gmail," said Mok, "but the promise of 'never having to delete email' clearly cannot be kept. I've used it for two years and 2.78GB is not enough. Many Gmail users would prefer a reasonably priced for-charge service, but unfortunately Google may think that's too little money for them to bother about."

"My HP 4150 PDA-it's an old model," said Hui. "I can live without a phone but cannot live without a PDA because I can borrow a phone from somebody--I can even switch it off but my PDA has too much vital information: contacts, VIP card numbers and banking information. I also read a lot of articles on my PDA while waiting."
