Electronic cockpit

A friend laughs at this electronic 'braintrust' in my office, that is, my car. But, along with a portable desk that sits strapped into the passenger seat, these are essentials for this many-miles-driving beer salesman.

Clockwise from upper left:

• Garmin GPS
• trusty ol' Palm T/X PDA
• Creative Zen (a non-Apple Creative Zen mp3 player)
• Samsung 'smartphone' (again non-Apple) with 'hands-free' Bluetooth earbuds

For long trips, I listen to audio books and music on the Creative Zen. Audible, long in the audio books market, has a large library, but eMusic releases its books in a non-proprietary mp3 format. For tunes, my choice is the latter.

Not pictured:

• Dell netbook;
• Canon PowerShot SD400 digital camera;
• And, of course, legal pad and pen!
