I have a tendency to change my travel plans part-way through my trip, so I always need books or info for different areas than what I brought along. Wouldn't it be nice if I could whip out my connected mobile device to access the new information on the road? Not yet, as the screens on mobile devices aren't quite there yet. I'd want a paperback-sized screen with 300dpi resolution. If it were connected to the cellular network at highspeed, I could access websites from nearly anywhere, or download ebooks to flip through when I am out of cell range (large swaths of BC!). Until then, I'll be forced to hit the local bookstore for a travelguide... Very true, William.
