Thats a tough one.. Should be a close call between my pocketpc and laptop , but i guess it would be my Pocketpc (IPAQ 2210)
Why…
I use it for
[list]Checking email
Sending SMS via bluetooth
Organizer to keep me organized ( thats a tough thing to do)
Alarms and reminders
Dictionary
Manage my Expenses
Play games when i am bored
Listen to Music ( a huge resourse drain but makes those long train journeys worth it )
Read e-Books
Picture Viewer to store and view my fav pics
Address book to list my contacts and inform me of any special events[/list:u]

I love my PPC ...

Just recently i got a powerbook. It is freakin awesome. I enjoy it because i try to always find something new to do, such as use OS X. I am still learning all of the stuff that it has, and still enjoying it.

I also got an iPod not as recently, but pretty recent. I enjoy it because it gives me stuff to do when im bored, because i travel alot, so i can listen to music and play my games on the go!

Hope this gets me somethin heheh. First post here actually… hopefully its my best one too.

Another device i enjoy is my digital camera. Its a vivitar vivicam 3705. Its 3.3 mpx and takes double a’s! I enjoy this because i can just take pictures of stuff that i think is cool and i can look back on it and be like “yo… thats still cool” heheh. whatever. I also like it because it takes video. Doesnt have sound, but it gets the job done. If there is like soemthing that my friends are doing that i think is hilarious, ill just tape it. Another cool part about it is that i have a 256 mb card in it, so i can take like 850 high quality pix and like 500 by 650 and like 30 minutes of video!. It doesnt have any of those fancy thing-a-ma-jigs on it, like a voice recorder, or like a 400x zoom, but i like it a lot. I dont need any fancy stuff like that to make me happy.

Favorite portable device? Well, not having a driver’s license yet means that I have to take the bus pretty much a thousand times a week, so I really depend on music. But not just your regular MP3 player. No, not another iPod. What I’m talking about is the small, but beautiful and stylish Creative MuVo2 4GB player.

And why? Because of its relatively small size and yet it contains space for a lot of music. But not just any music! First off, I listen to some great music, and secondly: The sound quality is really amazing. No wonder the reviews are sky high.

But wait! If you order now, you’ll get… (I would make a bad tv-shop salesman wouldn’t I?)

Well in all actuality I’d truly have to say It would be my sony clie. Not only does it keep me ahead at work (effectively canceling out my bosses nit picking), but (yes I’m gonna say it) It doubles as a very effective adult entertainment module, through storage of pics and such. Makes my trip to the loo all the more interesting. Oh come on,...you know you do it too….....  :D TANTRA

My favorite portable device that I can no longer do without is my cellular phone.

I own the Sony Ericsson T630 (not currently available commerically in the states, except through import stores)

The T630 is the successor to the popular T610. There are some minor, though useful improvements to it such as:

- improved display such that it is easier to see under daylight
- improved reception (a problem that plagued the T610’s and T68’s)
- slightly improved software

What I use the phone for:

- address book
- calendar
- alarm
- notes
- voice recording
- playing games (e.g. honeycave 2)
- sending ninja bluetooth messages to other bt cell phones in my proximity

The reason why I’ll most likely stick only to a bluetooth phone is because:

- I can synchronize my whole address book, calendar, task list, notepad with MS Outlook, which I then synchronize with Yahoo! (free feature of Yahoo that many don’t know about). Therefore I can be at my work computer and remember a dinner party I have, input that into Yahoo. Go home and sync with Outlook, then with my cell phone.

- I can upload/download ringtones, pictures, notes, and etc to and from my cell phone using bluetooth

- I keep a wireless bluetooth headset with me when driving, when shopping and etc so that I can have both my hands free for what is needed.  But the greatest benefit is that I live on a mountain, and the only place I get reception is by a window. I can leave my phone by the window and walk around the room, sit at my desk and etc. with my BT headset. No more missed calls, no more fear of talking on the phone because I’d have my face smashed on the window. :p

There are many more benefits to my phone and headset combination that I won’t list here because it’ll turn into an essay rather than a post.

Below follows some pictures of my phone and headset:
