Not in any particular order...
Powerbag Instant Messenger.
If you’re gonna toss your gadgets into a bag, then you might as well beef
up their bars in the process. This messenger bag has a built-in 6,000
mAh battery (enough for four phone charges) that can charge up to four
gadgets at once.
Belkin Mini Surge Protector.
This compact power strip has been on the market for a couple years now.
But you know what? It’s a virtually perfect product. Not only does it
transform a single scarce hotel or airport plug into triplets, but also
tosses in a pair of USB slots — meaning you can leave your phone charger
at home.
Duracell Instant USB Charger
Legitimately pocket-friendly design. It’s got a 1150 mAh battery (which
Duracell claims can fill your gadget up with 3 hours of talk time or 50
hours of music playback), a USB jack, and a mini-USB jack. And nothing
else. And that’s exactly the way it should be.
Verizon Jetpack 4620
Verizon’s 4G LTE network is the fastest around. So if you’re gonna get a
mobile hotspot, you might as well get one that uses it. Just be
careful: With the (totally unnecessary but still awesome) ability to
tether 10 devices at once, and download speeds as fast as 12mbps, this
one makes it all too easy to blow past its 5GB ($50/month) or 10GB
($80/month) data cap.
Olympus TG-1
What with a smartphone’s stellar specs, it’s getting harder and harder
to justify sacrificing suitcase space to a standalone shooter. But if
your trip involves more than just dry land and warm weather, you need
something with a bit more macho. Thanks to a waterproof (up to 40 feet!)
crushproof, dustproof, and freezeproof design, the 12-megapixel,
4x-optical-zooming Olympus Tough TG-1 (which is scheduled to drop in
July) can survive trips to the Sahara—or the sea.
