The Times editor Tom Dunmore compiled a
list of important gadgets he'd bring on a trip. On top of his list is the iPhone, just followed by the Sony Reader (and a couple of other less meaningful gadgets)!

Try as they might, scientists haven’t managed to better one of mankind’s most enduring technologies – paper. But the pain of carrying a library to the beach may soon be over, thanks to Sony’s new electronic book. The Reader’s revolutionary feature is its 6in screen, which uses E Ink technology that is as easy on the eye as newsprint and requires power only to change what it’s displaying – which extends battery life. The built-in memory will store 80 novels, which you can download from the internet. And when you grow weary of reading, you can use the reader to play MP3 music or audiobooks. The UK launch is expected later in the year.

Wait. Totally unrelated. A UK launch later in the year? Scoop!
