I would love to find out how many iPods and cell phones airlines find each year on their planes. I mean seriously, as soon as you sit down on a plane, you get your "zone" all pimped out with some magazines and your iPod or cell phone sticking out of the seat pocket in front of you. Next thing you know, you get off the plane and your beloved iPod is wedged so far in that seat pocket, you wouldn't have spotted it if you had tried.

Like any jet-setting geek girl, I refuse to travel without all of my gadgets. But with a phone, iPod, camera, cords, and chargers, keeping gadgets organized and cords tangle-free is a challenge.
I'm in love with the Grid-It organization system ($25) from Flight001.

I don't normally go for a laptop backpack (I'm more of a tote kind of girl), but for the sake of utility, I just had to brag about my Booq Boa Laptop Backpack find. Not only does the Boa pack your 13-17 inch laptops, iPods, and boasts enough room to store a few books or folders, but it also has a special bottom compartment for your SLR and top section to fit your full-sized headphones. .

When I head out on vacation (when I get the chance, anyway), I always choose a hotel that offers the most amenities to suit my techie tastes . . .

For those of you who liked the Cuby Speaker that I posted last week, here's another portable iPod Shuffle speaker with a few more features. Corega Japan has just come out with these tantalizing mini boombox docks that deliver quality output from their built-in speakers. While playing your tunes, you can connect the dock to your laptop or computer via the included USB port- therefore charging and transferring songs all at the same time.

Even if you're planning a glamping trip this Summer (glamping as in glamorous camping), and you'll be staying at a hotel or two, we all know that there aren't any guarantees when it comes to finding ample outlets for charging gadgets.
Glamping or camping, the Globetrotter Solar Charger ($100) will surely come in handy for those who travel loaded with gadgets. This powerhouse charging device comes equipped with eleven connectors and connection cables (meaning you can charge you and your friends iPod, cell phone, DS Lite, and GPS device), it will work in all weather conditions, and only takes about four hours of sunshine to fully charge its solar panels.

Although I'm hoping that my Summer travels are more for the purpose of pleasure than business, I can appreciate this Laptop Essentials Kit ($45) for either situation. The good news is, Sharper Image is thinking ahead (no, they aren't totally dead), and have made all the contents of this kit ultra portable — both mini sized, and with retractable cables for clean and easy storage.
Coming stocked with a mouse, a number keypad, USB cable, ethernet cable, iPod Cable, USB adaptor with four USB ports, and earbuds (as well as a few other goodies), the kit should be easy to toss in your laptop bag since all the contents come in a nice and neat leather case.

Summer travel means you'll probably be heading out in one of three ways: planes, trains, or automobiles! Of course, these methods of transportation will get you where you need to go pretty quickly, but boy, can they be noisy.
Sure your iPod and earbuds may do the trick when you need to zone out on the plane, but in my experience, they aren't very good for drowning out the sounds of that baby screaming in the seat behind you.
