I have things I usually bring with me that I can't live
without. I've been a fan of new technologies, and everything is constantly
improving. The scientists invent these
gadgets to make our lives so much easier.
They make everything in smaller package but with all the necessary
features that a person might need. It
all depends on every individual needs.
Now we can
even fit everything in a bag - from a telephone to a mobile phone, a radio to
an mp3 player, and analog camera into digital camera. I, myself can’t live without certain things
in my bag. I always see to it that I
have everything available when I need it.
Here are some of the gadgets I always have with me. I call them my "travel buddies".
Ø
Credit
Card and ATM Card
I find that bringing
ATM and Credit cards much safer than bringing a big amount of money with
you. Credit card is very convenient to
use and it is very accessible when ever we need it. You can use your major credit cards to shop anywhere
in the world. It also provides an easier
way to track your expenses.
Ø
Cellular
Phone
I
just bought this amazing phone, the Sony Ericsson K850i cyber shot; it is a
true digital still camera with a 5-mega pixel power. What amazes me most about this phone is the
automatic lens cover, with auto-focus so you don't have to worry about the
sharpness of the picture, and it also has xenon flash for poor lighting
conditions. You can even print the
pictures directly from the phone, no need to transfer it to your computer. I just plug it in any printer and pick the
picture to be printed and BOOM!, I have my picture printed. You can even have a quick and easy access to the
internet. With my new phone I am able to
do video calls, audio and video streaming, internet surfing, and email on the
go, who could even ask for more? I don't
even have to bring my laptop with me, making my life much easier.
Also
watch out for these phones, Sony Ericsson C702, Samsung Soul U900, Nokia N96, Giga-byte
MS820, and Android OS SDK. Let me give
you a bit of information about these phones.
Maybe one of these phones would be compatible to you.

Sony
Ericsson C702
This
phone has face focus function. The C702
will automatically detect and focus on the face when the view finder detects
it. With this feature, you don't have to
worry that you not being in the picture.
It also has a built-in A-GPS which guides you to your destination. It actually leads you to where ever you want
to go. Hmm, maybe I should get one too,
so I won't get lost when I travel.
Instead of asking around where to find a certain place, I'll be able to
track it myself - pretty clever!

Samsung
Soul U900
Same
as Sony Ericsson C702, this 5 mega-pixel camera phone also has a face detection
function. You can enjoy super-fast
internet access with its 7.2 Mbps High Speed Downlink Packet Access
browser. This phone is perfect for
people who love to listen to music because of its music library navigation
feature and a digital power amplifier. The
digital power amplifier actually uses special switching circuits that will
minimize the voltage that is dropped in the output semiconductor devices,
giving you a higher efficiency.
·
Nokia N96
This
Nokia phone has a built in DVB-H receiver for digital TV signals in Europe
and Asia, and a kickstand for desktop viewing. It is truly an optimized TV and video phone.
·
Giga-byte
MS820
It
is a 3.5G smartphone at 3GSM, and it has a TV and a GPS feature. The motion-sensing G-sensor and UI feature
manages the phone's activity which is based on your activity.
Ø
Digital
Camera
Not
that I don't enjoy the camera feature on my phone but of course to take a
better picture, one has to own a digital camera. Since I travel a lot, I take lots of pictures
as
souvenirs. I have the newest edition
of Casio's EXILIM, the EX-V7, which is best for travelers like me. Because it is very slim and exceptionally
portable, has a very powerful zoom lens and it's also great looking too. With those features, it's so easy for me take
quality pictures anywhere without any hassle.
This 7 mega-pixel digital camera has the four blur reduction technology
of Casio that mechanically compensates for any camera shake. Then automatically analyzes the velocity and
vector of a moving object setting the appropriate ISO sensitivity and a faster
shutter speed. What actually eliminates the
blur is the electronic camera shake compensation function. These features are actually great for me
since I like to capture beautiful scenery even when I am in a moving vehicle.
Ø
Play
Station Portable
The newest version
of PSP was made to be slimmer and lighter making it much easier to bring. You can have access to your games anywhere
you are, as well as an internet browser, and you can also store videos.
The fact that I
love video games, PSP gives me the option of getting to bring my favorite games
while I'm on the go. And since I get
bored easily, if I'm not listening to music, I'm most certainly playing my
game.
Ø
iPod
This was actually
designed for music lovers like me at first.
Then after awhile many variations of iPod came out. There is the iPod classic, the high-end touch
screen iPod touch, iPod Nano, the screenless iPod shuffle, and the iPod mini.
I personally have
the 32-gig iPod touch; I preferred this one because of its great features. It is Wi-fi capable with Safari and Apple
browsers. This is the first iPod
generation to have wireless access to iTunes Store. It can even detect the last 10 songs that
were played in Starbucks café within the vicinity. Pretty cool!
Since I am a music
lover and all, it is great for me. I
don't just get to listen to my favorite songs; I can also watch movies and
catch up on my favorite TV shows. With
my iPod Touch, I need not worry.
How about
you? What are the travel buddies you can't live without?
