WASHINGTON, Jan 2, 2003 (U.S. Newswire via COMTEX) -- Who says you can't keep
your New Year's Resolutions? No matter what your goals, a slate of new wireless
devices can help. You can get organized, develop new skills, work more
efficiently, find adventure and more - with the right wireless tools.
"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

Use your mobile printer and wireless PDA - your entire desktop in two
lightweight, convenient devices! Use Bluetooth connectivity to access all your
office applications, email and Internet, then print wirelessly to your mobile
printer. 6. Keep your kids extra safe. Wireless locators can fit on a child's
wrist like a watch, and provide parents with peace of mind. 7. Combine your
