I ALWAYS have to have my audiovox 8900 (verizon) cell phone, blackberry 7100t (tmobile), Sony clie, now, Sony PSP, plus all of the extra batteries, chargers, and other things for trips and vacation. Not to mention the normal stuff, like a wallet, gum, etc. TOO MUCH STUFF! I really need this thing, not only for the organization, but because it looks cool!

What an awesome bag that would be for when I’m “War Walking” through the city in search of hot spots. It looks nice and strong, and probably won’t fall apart at the seams when I’m running from the cops :>P Not to mention its really peerrrrty.

Three Things That I Always Carry Around With Me Is My Sony PSP, My Samsung Camera Cell Phone, And Dell x50 PDA. Before The Sony PSP I Would Carry Around My Shuffle To Hear Music. I Use My PDA For Holding All My Info And Access The Net. And Of Course My My Cell Phone Is My Access Point To Everyone I Know And Where I Get My Info From. A Tom Bihn Brain Bag Would Make My Life Easier To Carry Around My Gadgets Since Im Still Going To School. Hope I Win!

I always have my laptop (Dell D565), Phone (unbranded MS Smartphone), and PPC (HP 4355). More often than not I have my Zen Micro with me as well.
I just got a PSP and so far that’s been with me 24x7, but I suspect that as the new gadget smell wears off that will be more and more often relegated to the kitchen at home.

I always carry my cell phone, my iRiver H320 Mp3 player, my laptop, and my digicam. Thats a lot of expensive stuff I’m always scared of it getting stolen.

Gear that I have on me at all times….Well, every morning as I get ready for work, I grab my ipod, my PSP, my Pocket PC, my laptop, and my Samsung camera phone. Being in sales, I tend to travel A-LOT and it would be nice to not have all of my gear in multiple bags. This bag looks cool and appears to be able to hold all the stuff I have with me on a daily basis.

Getting up in the morning I equip myself with my Dell Inspirion Laptop, with ethernet cord, USB Mouse, and AC Adapter. Then I load up my Labtec headphones, my T-Mobile Sidekick II, both USB keys, I’d have an mp3 player, but I keep waiting on LuxPro to release the Super Tangent, but I’ll probably breakdown and get the iPod Shuffle in the next couple days. I also carry with my a deck of playing cards, my wallet, corporate badging, keys, sunglasses, and then a folio of work documents, magazines, daily paper, and breakfast.
I can’t quite justify the expense of a PSP just yet, plus, I’d probably get scolded at work for playing Lumines all day instead of working.

20Gig Ipod

I carry around my IBM x40 for school (which includes powercord, ethernet, and external-DVD drive, my calculator (TI-83+), and all of my books and notebooks. Most of the time I carry around my iPod mini (green), but the screen cracked last week so lately I have been very careful about where I bring it (her?). However, the one product I really cannot live without is my Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T33, it is awsome
. I take shots everywhere I go for my friends and family. Kodak Ofoto has a nice service that lets you upload the pics and then it creates a VERY nice album for usually less than $20. I love it.

So on a usual day I try to carry:
-iPod 40gig
-SonyEricsson T610
-My Sony Cyber-shot
-PSP
-Apple Powerbook G4
-Nintendo DS
-Some Sony headphones
-Pet Monkey! (I wish)
-Ti83+
-Tungsten T3
I try to haul this stuff around but squashing my electronics is not my idea of a good time. I think that I could not live without my PSP. It is like me and it has become bonded at the hip, and not because of some freak Superglue incident!

I am always in need of five pockets for:
1. Cell Phone
2. Wallet which also holds my Palm Zire 71
3. Ipod
4. Miscelaneous gear such as chargers, iTrip, and other things.
5. Keys
I’m a dead man in the summer if cargo shorts ever go away. Yikes. I need a backpack, I guess. Or a Treo 1250.

I carry 1 shoe on 1 foot, a half stick of already chewed gum that I found somewhere, 3 plastic kellogs watchs, one right over the other, for 3 dimentia-nal time on my wrist. I wish they had batteries though. Oh yeah, and a coat with extra arm sleeves, 20 to be precise. If I had the bag, I can keep my dog in it so I dont lose him every day.

iPod
Cell
PDA
Digi Cam, every so often.
And other stuff, that’s not considered “gear”. Wallet, Keys, etc…
Oh and Books for class.

School is such a drag with my lame L.L. Bean backpack. It’s old and worn, and just not cool. I usually have my 20gb Ipod, books, and graphing calculator. With this backpack, however, I would finally have a fully functional piece so I could also bring my laptop around with me.
L.L. Bean backpack - 20 dollars
College textbooks - 400 dollars

The one thing that i always have on me no matter what is my Moto V3. It’s on my 24/7. It never leaves my side.
Reply to this: comment | thread
I always carry around my moto v600. At school, I carry around my sony digi cam (p32, old i know), my ipod (gotta listen to the tunes), and my laptop (fujitsu lifebook s6000). On my keychain I have my sandisk 512mb cruzer micro, and in my backpack, i usually have a few cd-rs just in case i wanna make a new mp3 cd for the ride home, haha. Oh ya, I always have one of my fossil watches on, never leave home without a watch.

wow very cool and a neat idea for a givaway!
As for me, most of my “have to have with me” items are all pocketable but the only thing is I only have so many pockets lol. Even having things as easy to carry as my cell phone get tough when you have 4+ things to carry
.
Anyway, the things I usually try to bring with me are:
- cell phone (sanyo)
- ipod 20gb (of course)...along with my itrip for the car
- my digi cam (sony cybershot dsc-t3)
- lately my psp (and games which get in the way)
- a case for my duo sticks (sony branded metal case, pretty cool btw)
and other misc things like charging cables and such depending on where I am going and how long. I need a whole bag just for my ‘toys’ for long road trips and vacations lol.
And hopefully eventually I can add a laptop to that list…though that would not be pocketable lol.

I always bring around my Clie, motorola v300, and PSP…..all in my pants pockets!!!
Reply to this: comment | thread
My cell phone is the only thing I always have on me but depending on where I’m going I’ll have either a Toshiba M200, a PocketPC, or just some text books. I used to have a 4th gen 20 gig iPod on me pretty much all of the time too but I ebayed it recently and haven’t had a chance to buy another mp3 player yet.

What I can’t live without on the road is a few things. First of course is my cell phone, I use a HP Ipaq H6315, it’s very handy especially as PDA more than a Phone when on the road because I can keep track of the data and whatnot that I need in hand. Also, I love having my Sony DSC-P8 digital camera when on the road, especially when on vacations. Other than that, I like carrying my camcorder (on special occasions and vacations too) and my Sony laptop (which is unfortunetly big, so I don’t carry it too much.

Well, I carry around my 20 iPod and my Cannon Powershot S50 with me at all times. I’m a photographer for a school paper, so it comes in handy. Also, sometimes, I carry around my Canon ZR5 (digital camcorder) with me.

Being an employee, a student, and a father and husband requires me to wear a lot of different hats. I also have to carry a lot of different crap around with me.
As a budding writer, I always need my iBook and “On Writing” paperback by Stephen King as well as a few issues of Writer’s Digest. I also need my text books and notebooks for class. To keep it all organized I need my Palm T3 PDA. And for other entertainment purposes I have to have my Creative Zen Xtra 30GB MP3 player. I hope to get an iPod soon since my Zen is only compatible with my Windows desktop computer.
I’ve been looking at the Tom Bihn cases for a while but with all that’s going on right now I just can’t afford it. It would be INCREDIBLE to get this case.
Did I mention the new baby due in September? Think I could fit some diapers in there, too?

Since I don’t have an iPod, a PSP, or a DS (I’ve tried and tried to get them but failed), I tend to carry around my mp3 CD player, all of my CDs, and my limited edition platinum Game Boy Advance—not the SP, the regular one. The regular GBA released a limited edition platinum color which I picked up and am proud of because although people have moved on to the GBA SP and DS I am one of those lucky few with a platinum game boy advance.

In my bag:
BlackBerry 7100t
Motorola v710
Powerbook G4 aluminum
power cord for G4
Canon S300 digital camera
iPod (click wheel)
various firewire and USB cables
charger for v710 and 7100t
sunglasses
Jabra bluetooth headset + charger
Jabra wired cell phone headset (back-up)
1 gig USB key
Wifi finder
Kensington cable lock for G4
Bluetooth mouse
various MiniDV tapes
That’s about it at the moment. My job causes me to live on the road so I tend to carry quite a bit in my bag all the time. Finding a good bag to haul all this around is not easy.

I am an all-too-busy college student and as such I have to carry around my laptop, wireless network card, laser mouse (touch pads suck), Nintendo DS (plus all its paraphernalia: Games, charger, Advance games), my lame but dependable 128MB MP3 player, 512MB Flash drive, and my Cellphone. On top of that I also have to carry the loads of books for my classes and certain tech items back and forth ebtween the two computer labs on campus (I work for the university as a student assisstant in the computer labs).
