Not to advertise for any particular brand or anything -- but the  
iphone is indispensible to me now. When traveling, I often wonder how  
I ever did without one.

When I attended the O'Neill conference earlier this year, my driver  
who was taking me back to the airport wasn't quite sure which way to  
go on a certain road -- and we didn't have a map. So I launched the  
GPS on my iphone and instantly was able to know the correct route.  
It's also great to be able to correspond with clients via email. I'm  
sure lots of other phones can do this, not endorsing any particular  
brand per se.
