Top 15 Business Travel Gadgets
Smart Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note II
The life of a business traveler is filled with multitasking, so why buy the best phone for performing two tasks at once. Samsung’s Galaxy Note II ($299 with two-year contract) not only allows you to take accurate notes with its stylus, but enables you to use two applications at once on its huge 5.5-inch display. For example, you can compose an email while watching a movie ,or you could look at a restaurant review on one side of the screen while looking up directions in Maps on the other side. Other highlights include a quad-core processor, fast 8-MP camera and Samsung’s plethora of unique sharing features. Best of all, this superphone lasts over 9 hours on a charge, the longest of any handset we’ve tested.

A good smartphone comes first.

Thank you for posting on these great gadgets, Avram! I travel all over the world for my job at DISH, and I am always looking for any gadgets or apps that might make my life a little easier. I think I might be picking up one of those Monster Travel outlets, and a pair of those DBEST speakers before my next trip. Now my favorite travel gadget is one that actually stays home connected to my DISH Hopper DVR. It’s a DISH Sling Adapter, and I can use it to stream live TV or DVR recordings from my Hopper to my phone over the internet. I have stayed in some hotels that don’t offer many channels or movies, but that isn’t a problem now that I can carry all of mine with me.

What is CES? A store? Where? No reference as to what it is….

CES? C’mon, man! “As tech journalists . . . CES is the Superbowl.” Anyone who is interested in computer technology and does not somehow simultaneously live in a cave, cut off from all news of current events, would have to know that CES is the Consumer Electronics Show, on of the larget Trade Shows of any kind, and certainly THE big event in Consumer Electronics each year.

I’d personally like to see more of the waterproof, weatherproof kind of gadgets (the Sony Android tablet one was exciting, too bad someone screwed up the waterproofing part). Kind of hard to work on the beach when you’ve got flying sand getting into the nooks and crannies of your computer to worry about!
