New Technology for Travel
May 22, 2008. For those who enjoy luxury vacation rentals, staying connected and having the latest techology can be equally important. There's a new crop of gizmos aimed at the techy traveler this summer, and we surveyed a few web articles to see what's out there.
Notebookreview.com looked at an ideal laptop, the Gateway T-6828. With its 14" screen, this portable PC is among the smallest out there, making it easy to cart around. It's also of solid construction, which can be important when these machines get tossed around cars or airplanes. The good battery life also comes in handy when you're on the go and can't recharge.
The new crop of world phones has many globe trotters excited, but an article in Laptop magazine reminded readers to investigate each carriers global plan. Per minute rates can go as high as $2.99, and not all carriers are created equal in their ability to adapt to different frequencies. Look for a discount plan that can be bought for a single month, resulting in significant savings on the minute rate.
