...What's the 21st century's pet rock? A jumbo Tamagotchi pet? Nah. French tech company Violet (www.violet.net) has created Nabaztag, a plastic, 23-cm-tall (with ears up) white rabbit with a constant wi-fi connection. The device provides access to other Internet users and vital daily information like traffic reports and the weather. Programmed by its owner, Nabaztag (rabbit in Armenian) relays the information in a slightly cartoonish female voice, and flashes colored lights on her tummy when new e-mails arrive. The wi-fi rabbit, which also plays MP3s and MIDI files and dances a jig, flags...

...first new line of handhelds in 2 1/2 years ($500; palmone.com) from competing Palms and pocket PCs. The extra memory will get you far businesswise. You can archive quite a few PowerPoint presentations, for example, and a GPS street-level map of the entire U.S. Built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth wireless networking (plus infrared and USB ports) let you juggle e-mail accounts, surf the Web and transfer files...
...There are three new dramas. Fathom is the most unusual, a sci-fi mystery about a bizarre life form that suddenly appears in the oceans. It's Lost, with fish.

Inconceivable, a comic-edged drama about a fertility clinic, looks like it was conceived through an egg donation from Grey's Anatomy.
