Jim's Travel Log
IPod Continued Three more IPod essentials I'd pack in my suitcase: Griffin Technology's EarJams ($15), which snap onto the IPod's earbuds and make them stay put in my ears; Belkin's Backup Battery Pack ($60), to keep the IPod going for up to 15 hours after its internal battery poops out; and ITalk ($40), which turns the IPod into a pretty good voice recorder.
Cell Phone Shock Cell phones that moonlight as digital cameras, PDAs, Internet appliances, and music players are so 5 minutes ago. The latest cell phones can show broadcast TV (Samsung's MM-A700); capture video (the LG Electronics VX7000); work on Wi-Fi, cellular, and Bluetooth wireless networks (HP's IPaq H6315); and pack a built-in hard drive (Samsung's SPH-V5400). Given these developments, a combination cell phone/defibrillator should be announced right about . . . now. But what about a cell phone that simply allows me to talk to someone over a stable, clear connection?
