My favourite gadgets
Chris Brogan asked on Twitter "Have you got too many gadgets?" and pointed to a video by Paolo Tosolini about gadgets.
My business partner has just acquired a mini-netbook with built in broadband. I've seen a lot of these handy gadgets at conferences, and when I'm clattering away on my noisy keyboard and lugging a heavy large laptop around, I do hanker after a mini. But at times like today when the laptop is my desktop workhorse, I prefer its large size and screen.
My favourite gadget though for portability and everything else is my HTC TyTN II. I've had it just under a year and I love it. It does so much! It's a phone, it has two cameras, a sound recorder (basic but adequate for my purposes), a touch screen, a slide-out tilting keyboard and Windows mobile. I can take notes, take and store photos and videos, record audio, draw rough sketches, keep my calendar, wake up in the morning with one of three alarms, and so much more - I keep finding new applications.... I haven't even activated the satnav yet... The only thing I've found it can't do is connect to a projector directly from Powerpoint mobile - but it can do so via a laptop.
Unfortunately I may have used it too much - one or two of the keys on the dinky keyboard are sticking a bit. Should I send it back while it's still in warranty? But I can't bear to be without it now!
