HOT? NOT HOT?

Smarten Up Your Cellphone

Tired of hearing how impressive your friend's Black Berry, Treo or smartphone is? Do you wish your phone could easily do email or other tasks?

A company called TeleFlip, promises to deliver email and calendar entries to your phone for free regardless of your carrier and without downloading software. It works through SMS text messages that just about all cellphones can handle.

When it goes live March 12, you will visit teleflip.com, type in your cell number, email address and password and sometimes a few other pieces of information, and you are done. TeleFlip will deliver messages twice an hour initially.

The basic service is free (up to 5,000 messages a month). You have to pay your regular carrier's text messaging charges and because most lower priced phones don't have a fancy keyboard tapping out messages will still remain a chore.

Musical Voice Mails

Sing along with Ludacris and send your new ditty to your friends' cellphones, where it shows up as a new voicemail message. That's the idea behind Buz Interactive's GetaBuz.

Consumers can go to the www.getabuz.com website, where they download a snippet of a song and record their voice over it; it's their choice whether to talk or sing. Then they save it and send it to a friend. The service is free now, but eventually the company plans to charge 99 cents to $ 2.99 per song.

Video Ringtones

You record your video greeting (with a webcam) at the Vringo.com website, send it to your phone, and tell your friends to sign up for it. When you call their cellphones, they'll see your video. The free service will open to the public by late March.

Video Email That Can Be Viewed On Your iPod or MySpace

Eyejot has introduced a free video email program that allows you to plug in a webcam and record a video greeting at its website.

You can then send it to friends without opening a seperate application. You can also upload the video to the Internet.

What's Hot:

This Christmas, Green is out and Black is in. Black is the new holiday color of the Christmas Season. From Phipps Plaza in Atlanta to your local Target store, the one color considered too bleak for the holidays is making a splashy debut this season.

The black Christmas tree's trendy roots go back to last year in England, where more black needle trees were sold than the green needle ones at some department stores.

Here are some tips for a Black Christmas:

1. Avoid a barrage of brightly colored ornaments, otherwise the tree can look like a Mardi Gras costume.

2. Add mirrors, silver, copper and browns to warm the color and avoid an overpowering black look.

3. Consider going with a green tree with black accents to avoid a longterm commitment to black needles.

4. Consider the space for a black tree. A black tree with silver or gold ornaments may look better in living spaces with more clean, modern designs.

5. Remember, this is a fad, and this fad may be gone by 2007.

You might ask, where can I find a Black tree:

a) www.christmastreeforme.com - Between $ 149 and $ 399
b) www.iwantoneofthose.com - A desktop size black tree for around $ 16
c) www.xmastreesdirect.co.uk - A six foot tree from England, where the craze began for about $ 200.
