From an economic perspective, things have certainly been tumultuous for the wireless industry. Yet those setbacks fail to slow the steady stream of innovative products and development. Just look at this holiday gadget section. We've included some of the hottest wireless products that are on the market today.

Maybe this special section will encourage you to go out and buy wireless gear (W-Gear) for the holiday season. Or, it may arouse your curiosity about what's commercially available. Either way, we hope this section stands as a testament to the resilient nature of the wireless industry. Here at Wireless Systems Design, we believe that these innovations signal the beginning of a prosperous and technology-rich New Year.

We hope that you enjoy the following wireless-gadget reviews. Your opinion counts—especially because we'd like to make this section an annual part of our editorial-content offering. To let us know what you think, just drop a line to the following WSD staff members: Cheryl Ajluni (cajluni@penton.com), John Blyler (jblyler@penton.com), and Nancy Friedrich (nfriedrich@penton.com).

Until we meet again next year, happy shopping and Happy Holidays!
