Traveling with Apple Gadgets



Wayne Dixon | Wed, Feb 17, 2010 @ 8:00 am

My girlfriend and I booked a trip to London for later in this summer. With us actually having booked the trip, I have begun thinking about what type of gadgets will be needed for the trip.

Here is the list I have thus far:

  • In lieu of bringing a laptop I am planning on bringing an iPad equipped with 3G. (I hope Apple has the international plans in place by our trip)
  • iPad accessories
  • iPhone
  • Bunch of Apps for traveling. (Need some suggestions from our readers)
  • Camera
  • Second phone (probably Google Nexus One)

On of the issues with traveling is procuring the necessary adapters. Luckily for Apple users, Apple has gone to a modular system for power adapters. This means that if you travel you can easily use your current products and just purchase the necessary power adapter to adapt to whichever type of plug is needed.

Apple does have a product: Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. This kit work with all of the iPods. Presumably, this will also work with the iPad.

This kit also adapts your MacBook power adapters to the proper power outlet. Most users may not be aware that they may be able to remove the actual power plug from their MacBook or MacBook Pro’s power adapter and replace it.

If you have any suggestions for what other gear or iPhone or Android applications that I should have, please let me know, either in the comments or via email.

    TravelSleep, itms://itunes.apple.com/us/app/travelsleep/id355396845?mt=8. Best app for getting some rest while seated next to loud airplane neighbors, at a noisy hotel, on a long bus ride, or anywhere you need sleep.

    Get the Pepys app so you can get a feel for what London was like and while you are there you can open it each day to find out what Pepys was up to on that very day 350 years ago….
