Lifeblogging Goes Backpacking

Odds: 3 to 1

What happens in Vegas should stay there. For all else, there's Backpacker's Diary, which mimics the traditional paper book, providing travel enthusiasts various tools and types of information on each "page," including media recording and maps. The device can be used to search all information for a trip in advance, such as route, weather, and hotels. A GPS unit keeps guiding travelers to their destination, and also updates information along the route. Other pages in the diary encourage travelers to keep a journal of their traveling experiences, and to share them with others.
