Umm, interesting. I couldn't work without my mobile; I've got a
tri-bander, now, so it even works in the US and Canada in some places,
obviously, as well as the rest of the world. If people couldn't ring
me, or I couldn't ring them, I don't think I could do my job.
Similarly, I use my Nokia 770 to do my email, either through wifi access
points, or GPRS using my phone - again, it fits in my pocket, and I
couldn't really work without it.
Both my phone (I think it's a Nokia 6630) and my tablet (Nokia 770) play
MP3s, and both have some on - both have a 1Gig card each. I also have a
USB-key MP3 player which can store 1/2Gig.
I can travel for > 20 hours and have no probability of running out of
things to listen to or read. The only slight issue is needing to carry
power! I've got a aeroplane invertor now (bought it on my last BA
flight - quite expensive, but very useful).
