Company: Burgess Development

This company wants to equip its sales staff with data projectors to take with them on sales calls to clients. Sales staff have been complaining about the weight of all the gear they have to carry around with them.

Approximate budget: $6000 per projector

Requires: Five projectors weighing less than 3kg each.

Concerns: Weight is the primary concern, because sales staff are out on the road a lot. The ability to store presentations on CardBus or CompactFlash cards would be a big bonus. 1024 x 768 resolution preferred.

Best solution: If weight is the major concern, the Infocus would be your best bet. For best overall value, we'd recommend the Sony VPL-CX5. It was brighter than most and it can save you time setting up by being able to do some nifty things like automatically adjust the keystone for you and raise the height of the projector to where it was before it was powered off. It was also one of the sharpest projectors and it was well priced.

    Celebrity comes with its perks — free alcohol, better-looking partners, lots of holiday time — and disadvantages — constant media intrusions, being forced to appear in films with Eddie Murphy for the long-term good of your career, and having to do mindless radio interviews with angry men who've been awake since 4am.

    Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
  • Array Dear carriers: More walking, less talking
    Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all — and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
