Best Technology For Long-Distance Travel?

An anonymous reader writes "Over the past year I have traveled across the globe for work but I can't seem to find the right balance of technology to take with me. After reading a CNET article about tech for traveling, I'm still slightly undecided about what hardware suits me best. On the work side of things I need a laptop, nothing fancy but it can't be too heavy or slow. I also need a smart phone that can receive emails across the world and if possible a satellite navigation device, as I need to get to less-traveled locations on a regular basis. From a personal perspective I need my music but I don't care about video, so I'm looking for something with high-quality audio and great battery life. A compact camera wouldn't go amiss but dSLRs are too heavy for my needs and carrying strength, so something I can tuck in a pocket would be perfect. Any suggestions greatly appreciated."

The best technology for Long-Distance Travel is high speed aircraft.

I'm partial to warp drive or wormholes (for really long-distance travel)

Come on, everyone knows the answer to that ...

A towel and a copy of your HHGTTG,

And maybe a hammer to whack Marvin with. If he's going to be so depressed all the time, might as well give him a reason to be.

+1 Mobility, but -1 Strength

Can you buff out your carrying strength with some kind action? You know, like weights or something? Or maybe just put it in your bag of holding.
