In November, U.S. computer maker Gateway jumped into the flat-TV market with the first 42-inch plasma model selling for less than $3,000, undercutting existing brands by at least $1,000.

The Gartner Group, a technology consultancy, estimates that 30% to 40% of all missed business calls occur when people step away from their desks to go to another part of the building.
