One of the biggest hassles of traveling with a laptop is having to remove the laptop from its bag for airport security. When you are struggling to take your shoes off and hold onto your boarding pass, removing the laptop from its case can be quite a challenge. Although it is only a small relief, the TSA has approved new bags that can go throught the X-ray machine. They are coming soon and may be a worthwhile investment for road warriors.

 When the iPhone was introduced last year, my advice was "Wait for the next version." Well, that version is here now. Just announced by Steve Jobs, this new iPhone may be the one to buy. With 3G support, it is twice a fast. It also has satellite navigation capability.....and the price for the 8 gig abyte model has been cut to $199. In the near future, there will also be many additional software programs. It may really be the time to buy!
NOTE: Not part of the original announcement is the fact that AT&T has upped the cost of the monthly data service for the iPhone from $20 to $30. See my blog for more comments.

Getting videos and Web content to show up on your television has always been difficult, but Time Warner plans to make it easy. Time Warner Cable announced that in a "relatively short time" they will have special equipment available to their subscribers to easily port Web content to their television. It sounds like a great project. I just hope they don't have a monthly charge attached to it. After all, we pay for the Internet Service and we pay for the cable TV -- so please don't charge us to integrate the two.
