Any excuse will do

The latest security scare at airports is making it even harder to take anything with you when you fly, and laptops are viewed with even more suspicion by screening staff.

Anything big enough to have its insides replaced with something nefarious is likely to be banned unless checked into the cargo hold. So what is an airborne road warrior supposed to do?

Well, what better excuse for a new PDA which can check emails and let you tap away at your blog in between games of Tetris?

Sure, you might also get asked to check the PDA with your luggage but at least you can slip it into a suitcase.

Laptops which get redirected to the cargo hold are usually in bags which might as well say “steal me” on the name tag.

Surely now is finally the time to make the plunge and get connected on the move without requiring a well-built butler to lug your laptop around.

Of course, if you prefer to travel with a well-built butler, that’s entirely up to you.
