Does the above photo of Steve Jobs looks familiar? Your guess is right! They said he looks like Moses holding a tablet. The only difference is Steve Jobs is introducing an iPad tablet where he claimed that “it will change the world.” I wonder how it will change the world? For starters, the touchscreen operated iPad will provide a convenient way to buy books, newspapers, play games, watch movies and TV shows and most of all you can use it to surf the web and use it as a smart phone. Yes, you heard it right,  that huge tablet as a smart phone. Sounds like you won’t even need a laptop with this new iPad. Using 3G wireless internet and telecommunications services exclusively for iPad will connect you to the world. 

With the above features, is the new iPad an all-in-one device? Could be… but we don’t know yet how it will perform when it’s out in the market soon. And that is for a whopping $499-$699 in the US. Hopefully, Apple will not disappoint their avid customers. 

For someone who likes all-in-one device, like the touchscreen printer-scanner-copier in one, GPS, etc., this is a new goldmine.  I like all-in-one devices, it means less clutter, more space. For a good review about Steve Jobs presentation about the iPad, click here. But if you’re on the verge of buying your eBook reader and on a budget, another choice would be Amazon Kindle. It will give you what you an eBook for a lower price.

Traveling this weekend? If you can’t live without your techno gadgets like your laptop, iPod, cell phones, etc. taking too much power outlets and electronic device is a bummer. Less is the best. Traveling light allows you to explore the place you’re visiting. I’ve learned it the hard way. I’ve been a heavy packer in the past and I end up breaking my back from carrying too much stuff. Just to give you an idea how heavy I pack, I bring my bathroom with me. Nowadays, I can live in one knapsack for 3 days. Talk about improvements huh?

So you may want to consider taking along with you this Dual USB Charger and Power Surge Protector from Belkin. Usually hotels only offer one power outlet to plug your gadgets but now you can extend it up to five outlets! The 2 USB connection is great for charging almost any USB device (cannot be used for data transfer) and the 3 AC power outlets (with surge protector) is good for laptops or notebooks. You can even dry your hair at the same time. Here are the juicy details:

  • 360-degree rotating plug with 4 locking position
  • Provides complete surge protection through all outlets
  • Offers compact, lightweight, efficient design
  • Features mini-USB cable to charge virtually any USB device including BlackBerry® and Motorola® RAZR phones
  • Comes with Lifetime Product and $75,000 Connected Equipment Warranties

For some people who doesn’t want to bring a lot of electronic device when traveling I think this product is good over all. But as a safety reminder always check the specs before buying a product. You may end up buying something that you have no use for. Have a safe trip!

There has been a lot of ways to connect to the www. Broadbands are available source that offer portable modems to connect to the internet so you can surf whenever, wherever. Perhaps, the Mercury Broadband USB Modem from AT&T is the smallest broadband modem I encountered. But before you jump for joy to have this tiny gadget, you may want to read the good review of ubergizmo about this product. Basically, you must have a phone contract with AT&T and a dedicated UMPC, netbook, etc. If you’re a fan of small, portable gadgets this may be what you’re looking for.
