TABLETS, E-READERS AND NETBOOKS ARE PACKLIGHTABLE!




















I learned a major lesson during my Cruise Challenge, never travel without a computer. But that might not be altogether true, for I made a visit to Staples today, and found out about some other smaller devices that might have worked out just as well. Here at the Staple's in Cape May Court House, NJ, manager, Deven Hamidy, shows off the tiny but potent Acer. The Acer 10" Tablet which sells for $449.98 can be manipulated by touch which I like since I have an iPhone. Read your book, play games, watch a movie, make phone calls through skype and enjoy Wi-Fi connectivity all on this tiny computer. It packs light too which is what I love. It seems like there are all sorts of scaled down computers out there ready to make our journeys easier and more efficient. Toshiba Thrive, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy and of course the iPad 2, to name a few. Treat yourself to a technology outing and see what appeals for your travels.
