portable setup

I picked up the Pocket Edge last month from woot! and have been learning a lot from using the device and the online forums. I'm really diggin' the device!

Here is my portable setup with some of the accessories I have added:



1. Entourage Pocket Edge
2. Energizer XP8000 (Another woot! purchase. Battery is 30 watt hours)
2.5. Energizer Cable
3. Fellowes USB Stowaway Keyboard ($5.00US thrift store find, FTW!)
3.5. Stowaway Cable
4. Vogduo 4 port USB 2.0 mini hub ($1.00US clearance item, FTW!)
5. Retractable ethernet cable (no name)
6. Star Tech USB Ethernet dongle (USB2106S)
7. 5 LED USB light (no name)
8. Rothco Venturer Travel Portfolio Bag (lots of pockets!)

Even though the Rothco bag is kinda like a murse, it's more manly than others I've seen and doesn't look too bad if I wear it with the strap across my chest and the bag hanging low.

Oh, I forgot to add...usb fans will work too and can come in quite handy, especially if you can find a fan/light all in one.

If you use a USB hub, be careful about how many devices you put on there and the energy it draws. I haven't had any issues yet but I try not to have too many things attached.

All of the USB devices above work natively, so no drivers or additional software...just plug 'n play, baby!

Here is my portable workstation all setup:



Hope this helps!
