You most likely have the technology basics right? You have the right mobile device, maybe more than one, including a phone and tablet. You probably have a great lap top to support your job description. Pretty soon, you maybe able to do much of this from your car.

However, there are always some new inventions and developments that produce a certain gadget that makes an executive’s life even easier and more productive.

We believe that every executive should have at least one unique gadget that most other do not have. Something that would make a client, colleague or visitor ask… Hey, whats that thing? Even though we are are in the corporate transportation and executive car service business, we still like to offer all of our readers input on all things business and all things business travel.

With that in mind, here are four new developments that have resulted in cool gifts or just a cool purchase for any corporate executive.

1. A Secure Flash Drive – We understand this might not be the sexiest of all gadgets but if you consider your marketing and financial data important, you may want to always have the mindset of making it even safer. The hackers never stop trying to get in so you can never stop trying to keep them out. This flash drive will encrypt the data that you store on the drive. It also will protect you from adware and malware attacks. It may be small and it may be difficult to showcase as one of your cooler gadgets but it will offer more piece of mind and keep you safer. Here are some examples of brands names and producers of these type of hardware. Corsair, IronKey and LOK-IT, and they all have storage ranges of 2 to 8 GB.
2. Portable Battery Backup – These things are great for many reasons. One is that it is built differently than most of the cored charges made for your mobile device. This portable battery back up is like a separate hardrive in appearance. You can keep in stored in a glove box, a backpack and even a pocket. Just connect your mobile device that needs more battery and this little wonder will charge your phone or tablet separate from your current mess of cables. These wonder units can hold enough power to recharge your mobile phone five times over. Look for one that has a USB outlet for further compatibilities. The leaders in this world include the ZAGGsparq 2.0. read these reviews on CIO.com and Paracoda. You can also consider looking at the HyperJuice Mini for a better color choice or InstaPark Mercury to go green and include solar charging. Now who wouldn’t be impressed with that?
3. Portable Projector – If you are in sales (who isn’t) and rely on making presentations, think about the evolution of slide shows and other presentation technology. It has gone from lugging around your own bulking projector to just making sure you have the right, compatible cables to use the projector that is at your destination. This technology has taken another step and you can now have the ability to give your presentation anywhere and without depending on the equipment others have. It makes you look incredibly organized and a step ahead of your competitors. These portable projectors can project up to a 70 inch screen and fit into the laptop carrier you already have. The entire unit should be the size of a deck of cards, such as the iGo Pico or Vivitek Qumi series.
4. Projection Keyboard – You might consider this gadget more of a toy and less for productivity but it is official considered “cool”. This effectively projects a keyboard via laser on any flat surface. It also produces a your finger motion for actual typing. We are still trying to determine some good examples of how and why to use a device like this but other than this basics of being able to type on a wall or ceiling, we have yet to come up with one. I would tell you this device is not the best tool for content development but can help you with content consumption. In other words, this device is not going to replace your current keyboard for ease of use or productivity purposes especially if you are in the business of creating content but if you are simply surfing, browsing, reading or consuming content in another way, this is a cool device. Celluon is the leading manufacturer of projection keyboards this holiday season. Its Laserkey looks the most futuristic, while its MagicCube Bluetooth model comes recommended for tablets.
