"The New Year is the time to make a fresh start, but everyone needs the right tools to keep their resolutions," said Tom Wheeler, President and CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA). "Wireless is evolving at warp speed and the 2003 crop of wireless devices can do more than ever before. Wireless can help you get organized, stay connected, pick up a new hobby, travel and juggle all the things you need to get done. So, forget willpower - go wireless in 2003."

CTIA's Lucky Seven Portable Pledges You Can Keep:

1. Learn a new language with a mobile voice translator. Type in one language and out comes another language - as text or speech. Choose your phrase or pick pre-loaded starter sentences. 2.
