CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Time now for a little more 'Business Buzz.' You don't even have to be at home to watch DAYBREAK. Now you can take us with you anywhere you go. Hallelujah.
Carrie Lee explains from the Nasdaq market site.

Good morning.

CARRIE LEE, CNN FINANCIAL NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, again, Carol.

Nokia rolling out a new hand-held device here, which is -- quote -- which is made for -- quote -- "media obsessed consumers." You've got to love that. This is a hand-held set that will let users watch television as well as access the Internet from any location. Does even more than that. The new 7,700 media device also features a video camera, an FM radio which can show simultaneous pictures, a calendar, e-mail and of course, it's also a telephone.

Now they are going to roll this out in the second half -- second quarter of 2004. A little bit big, so not exactly something that can fit in your pocket and it's not that slick. It does cost $584. So some might say a little cumbersome, a little expensive, but certainly a lot of capabilities packed into this thing.

COSTELLO: Yes, but can you -- can you imagine watching TV on a little teeny, tiny screen? Doesn't it sort of have to be a little bigger?

LEE: You know a lot of people do it. A lot of people like this thing. And everyone has this idea about phones and cameras. This is the way it's going, and Nokia hoping it will help its bottom line. We'll see.

COSTELLO: Crazy.

Carrie Lee, live from the Nasdaq market site, many thanks.
