Stressed out gadget lovers can now relieve the burden of daily life in the 21st century with the launch of a new body massager that connects to a PDA device.

Raynet Technologies has launched the new snap-on device called the Raynet Personal Massager, which will turn a Handspring Visor PDA into an even more personal digital assistant.

While the device offers users all sorts of gyrating and tapping actions, one of the most notable aspects of the product is its ability to allow users to continue to work away on their Handspring PDAs while the massager works away on them.

The massaging module is snapped into the Handspring Expansion slot and then two pads attached to a wire are plugged into the PDA. Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is sent through the two gel pads that users attach to chosen areas of their body. The Massager Module comes pre-set with a selection of three basic massage modes consisting of squeezing, chopping, and tapping along with three different programs for the back, shoulders, arms, and legs.

The company says the devices' adjustment capabilities are designed to meet people's various builds as well as their various desires.

To start the massage and feel pains and suffering just drift away, users need only to follow the on-screen menu which provides pull-down instruction screens and a Body Guide. A full instruction book is also provided.

Furthermore, regular users can establish "personal" settings with features that include frequency, ramp-up modulation, burst, pressure, and duration. The user can also observe the progress of the massage through animated graphic displays on the PDA's screen.

Due to its small size, the Personal Massager is targeted for portable use in the office, at home or during travel, the company claims. Raynet also says the compact massager can fit unnoticeably into the pocket compared to the bulkier conventional equipment available.

The device sells for USD99 at http://www.palmgear.com/hs and can also be used as a standalone gadget.
