How about a small and nifty gadget for your notebook while you're on the go and serving you as one of the best communication lieutenants you've ever had? The KX-TS710 from Panasonic is such a device, created to let you enjoy multiple functions with only one piece of technology. The Panasonic KX-TS710 can be used as a pretty decent computer mini-speaker or as a handset if need be. And if you're the kind of guy who uses speakerphones, then this gadget is the right one for you.

One of the coolest things is that the Panasonic KX-TS710 is easy to use and set up thanks to its USB connector: just plug it in one of the free ports of your computer and there you go. No drivers needed, just plain functionality.

 

You can enjoy hands-free Internet calls in case you're too busy to hold the phone; continue your work at the PC, while this small toy will help you get in touch with the ones you need. Or if you are looking for more privacy, just pick it up, unfold it and use the Panasonic KX-TS710 like a normal phone, with no sound leaking to the ones around you.

 

Thanks to its folding design and altogether diminutive dimensions, the Panasonic KX-TS710 can be easily carried in your laptop bag and so it could accompany you anywhere your business might take you. And if your laptop hasn't speakers powerful enough, just route the audio signal to this veritable communication Swiss army knife and enjoy your music.

 

Both speaker and ear receiver volumes can be adjusted as they sport a 6-step control and the connection protocol of the Panasonic KX-TS710 is USB 1.1, which makes it compatible with any computer. With a cable length of approximately 1 meter and 0.1 lb (45 grams) weight, the Panasonic KX-TS710 retails for less than $50, depending on where you get it. It is available in both black and silver.
