Commuter Gadgets Video Clip

Hi All!

I enjoyed this video clip from the business week web site. It is about commuters and their technologies. The train and riders look amazingly like the one that goes from Grand Central in NYC to Stamford!

I just started using a blackberry and am totally addicted to my new connectivity. :-)

All the best!

AA batteries to charge your phone?

Energizer will start selling a device that runs on AA batteries that will help you if your cell phone, iPod or gaming device battery starts to die.



(You are not alone. Apparently, this happens once a week to 20% of all cell phone users.)


It is supposed to be available 9/1/06. I am SO buying this!

USB charger uses in flight headphone jack

Text from the engadget site....



The concept is pretty simple, but fairly ingenious. You just stick the mini jack of the Power Unit into your seat's headphone port and crank the volume. The device trickle charges for 3-5 minutes, and then can power a connected USB device for a minute, after which the cycle starts all over again. The $35 charger will work with small devices like an iPod, PDA or cellphone.

It may or may not keep up with an iPod's energy drain but it is a simple and cool idea.

Turn any Web page into a PDF file

This is so easy that it is unbelievable.

Simply go to http://html2pdf.seven49.net/ and type the web address of any page on the internet. It will then save it to your computer, or show it to you, as an adobe PDF file.

I wish there more to tell you ......but that's it!

This could be really cool if you are producing a presentation or handout.

Hi All,

I don't know if all of these would have made it to my top 10 list, but here is a neat site with some interesting travel gadget to see.

I particularly like #9 (the cell phone mini-projector) and #5 (the inflatable washing machine)!

What'll they think of next?
