Cool stuff: Your 2006 holiday gift guide

Sadly, only four colors are available, but you can store 100 numbers, so in a way it's a Caller ID categorization device. Make your friends green, your kids blue, your co-workers purple and your spouse red. If a stranger calls, you get scrolling colors.

There's also a three-line LCD display so that you'll know exactly who is on the other end of the line before you pick up. (Obviously, your phone line must have a Caller ID service enabled for the device to work.)
