Hmm.let’s see.
I carry around my PSP, DS, GBA, and sometimes the XBox (but that has it’s own case).  But I also have my iPod, palm pda, a hardcopy day planner (i know, eww hard copy), a small headphone set along with a large headphone set, various cases containing choice games for each gaming platform, a usb mini drive, a few music cd’s.
That’s all stuff I carry around everyday…*sigh*

My nokia 3650.  It’s a really open phone and I don’t mind the funky keypad at all.  My next phone must have:
qwerty keys (slide out or X out prefered)
removable storage
bluetooth

I used to carry several items, but my PSP has eliminated many of them.  I’d love this backpack because I could safely carry my essential gear on the train:
- PSP & some UMDs
- noise isolating earbuds
- papers & packets for work
- a good book, because sometimes you just have to read for fun.

I’m a webmaster and a total geek. I am going to be traveling to Japan for two weeks in June with the Air Force Reserves. I will be totally loaded down with geek stuff while in Japan doing geocaches (geocaching.com).

I will be carrying…

- Dell pocketPC
- Fuji Digital Camera
- Explorist GPSr
- water
- maps
- extra memory cards
- rechargeable batteries
- headphones
- geocache trinkets

My Pocket PC is loaded with the complete Tokyo Subway system guide, English<>Japanese dictionary, mobile Geocaching database, music, audio Japanese lessons.

I’m in the market for a cool bag to carry all my stuff around for the miles of hiking we plan to do.

I’m an early adopter wanna be. Don’t have the money to buy the latest and greatest, but have the necessary gear to be a gadgeteer. Plus, I bike to work and I’m sick and tired of my regular back pack.

* HP Jornada 720 (old school baby! But love the touch typing)
* Dell Notebook C400
* Nokia 3200 (PIM!)
* Water bottle with Cytomax, so I can turn and burn
* Spare tube
* Wallet & Keys
* Old Samsung MP3 64Mb player
* Bike tools (tire iron, pump, small wrench set)

I carry GPS, cell phone, digital cameras and accessaries (e.g., batteries, lens cleaning kit.)
