The perfect gadget is compact, full of features, and can last for hours without a charge; those are the gadgets you want to take with you when you travel.  We have found the perfect gadgets that will last for hours end out while flying halfway across the world or just merely kicking it back on a road trip.

The Perfect Laptop
With the new Windows Vista launch this past month, there are several new laptops being released to the market.  However one, at the beginning of the launch of this new breed, stands out above the rest. 

The Toshiba R400 is a slim, compact, black and white tablet pc packed with all the features you’ll need when traveling.  You’ve got a pen/stylus for writing on the tablet, a rotating screen to watch movies, 2GB of memory and Windows Vista Ultimate for just about any task, in addition to built in EDGE (through VZW), Bluetooth and WIFI to always stay connected (except while in the air).  Aside from the ability to use two batteries simultaneously giving you up to 7 hours without a charge.


The Perfect Pocket Gadgets

There’s nothing like a pocket sized gadget that you can leave zipped up in your jacket for any length trip.   Take for example the Nintendo DS Lite, giving you up to 14 hours of continuous play or the new iPod Nanos that last 10 hours without a charge.  These new micro gadgets are giving you nonstop enjoyment without the bulkiness of a battery or the need to pack a charger.  However if all your gadgets don’t have the privilege of lasting for half the day, then look into getting the new Charge 2 Go Power Station allowing you to charge your phones, mp3 players, usb devices and more on two AA batteries.

The Perfect Sound
When traveling you’ll never want to forget a pair of headphones, especially the new Able Planet Clear Harmony Noise Cancelling headphones which perfect sound.  Unlike their competitors that merely block external noises, the Clear Harmony  headphones provide award winning sound and maximum speech clarity for your enjoyment.  The sound is so clear and precise that you won’t want to take them off.

The Portable Sound
Now of days, bringing Bluetooth wireless headphones with you on a trip means you usually get a few hours of listening time before a charge.  However things have changed with the new Homer Technology HHS1220 Bluetooth Stereo Headset which packs a whopping 15 hours of talk or listening time and up to 300 hours on standby.  Yes, not only are they compact Bluetooth headphones for your mp3 player or entertainment device, they in fact have a built in mouth piece to pair with your Bluetooth (music) enabled phone.  Smart, sleek, compact, and perfect for everyday use
