Nov 14th, 2011 at 8:00AM: Modern technology has obviously had a dramatic impact on how we travel. Thanks to small, lightweight portable devices, we now have the ability to carry our entire music library or a collection of our favorite movies and television shows, with us where ever we go.

Dec 7th, 2010 at 7:30PM:
I love travel gear shots. I'm always curious to know what people consider essential items & what tech gadgets people can't live without on the road. This photo was taken in 2005 and at first glance, seemed pretty outdated.
These days, it's rare to see a camera that shoots on DV tapes, a Powerbook, or an iPod without a touchscreen (gasp)! It just makes me wonder what we'll consider ...MTrip travel app for iPhone and iPod makes exploring new destinations simple

Jun 3rd, 2010 at 12:00PM:
Here on Gadling, we've covered quite a few portable battery packs in the past - and most of them are relatively straightforward (and boring). The new Griffin PowerDuo Reserve is the first truly interesting and innovative power product I've seen in a long time.

The Griffin Technology Travel Stand for iPod and iPhone is one of the the smartest little gadgets I've reviewed in a long time. Despite not consisting of much more than a small case and rubber headphone winder, this product fulfills multiple tasks in one.
When closed, it is a great case for your headphones - keeping them wound around the included rubber wrapper. But when you open it up, ...Frommer's travel tools provides nine handy iPhone apps in one

Dec 12th, 2009 at 11:00AM:
As the first iPod with a camera, the new Apple iPod Nano is surprisingly fun to play with. But until now, it wasn't the kind of gadget you'd take to the beach, as iPods and water don't tend to mix. H2O Audio can change that, thanks to their new "Capture" case.
