Tech Tips For Travelers Around The World
PC World has very relevant tech tips from travelers around the world to make your journey easier and less troublesome. The tips include;
1. Bring Your Internet Tablet
“But the tablet proved a lifesaver when my sister and I were stranded in the Pisa airport for about 12 hours. We needed to find an alternate way home. The airport had Wi-Fi but no computer terminals, so I whipped out the N800, paid the 12 euros for 90 minutes of access, scanned the airline Web sites for alternate flights, and ultimately saved the day by finding a discount flight home.
According to PC World, “The Nokia N800 tablet has a touch screen, a stylus, a built-in Webcam, Skype preinstalled, and full Web access. It earned a PCW Rating of 70 (good) when we reviewed it last February. Recent prices started at $200 online.”
2. Don’t bring your Adaptor
Kim Saccio-Kent of San Francisco offers a tip from a recent trip to India:
“I purchased a new GSM phone before I left for India, an inexpensive Nokia 6126. My service plan allowed for reasonable international roaming, plus messaging. AT&T’s GSM coverage was amazing–I was making calls home from remote little villages in West Bengal, no problem. It was also good to keep in touch by exchanging pictures with family and friends. I turned on the phone only to use it, so had plenty of juice left after a two-week trip–didn’t bother bringing the adaptor.”
3. Use Portable Hard Drive to stores photos
Don’t forget to bring your portable hard drive such as Giga Vu Pro to your travel destinations. It sure helps you save money and time.
Quinlan inserts her memory card into the Giga Vu Pro, copies the image files onto the hard drive, and then deletes files from the memory card so it can be used to store new images. “It’s a really nice item to have when taking long trips,” she says. “It stays charged for a long time, especially if you’re only using it to transfer image files and turn it off again.”
