How many gadgets does one carry around?

Soon the travellers bag will consists of three gadgets.

1. A mobile phone
2. A laptop
3. iPad

It is indisputable that except for the few who do not want to communicate a mobile phone is the personand the person is the mobile phone. So then every one wants to pack a good mobile. Most travellers also pack a laptop. Of course it varies from a bulky laptop to a sleek netbook, but a laptop nonetheless.

Let us for a moment take a look at the air travellers. Once you have boarded the phone goes out of business and the laptop comes on only later. What does one do a long flight apart from trying to sleep or reading? Reading is an option. Put the laptop on and read on. But the laptop soon runs out of the battery. One can carry books. But how many one can carry?

There are mobile e-book readers but how long any one can read from a mobile? Kindle and the like fills the gap. But Kindle can only help read books. That is where iPad comes in. It can read books, see movies, browse the internet. Comfortable screen size. Easy viewing. Many applications expected. A bit big perhaps.

Early reviews suggest a positive feedback for the iPad. Good battery life.
So buy an iPad, pack the laptop in the check-in baggage, carry only the mobile and the iPad for the security. Make your travel light.
