Question What are your go to gadets? MP3, Ipods, Tablets, Ipads, kindles?

There are so many electronic gadets. How is one suppose to know what they need?

You have cell phones, MP3/ipods, Tablets/ipads, Readers/kindles, the nook and many others. I don't even know them all. Then you have the traditional desktop computer and laptops.

I was thinking about getting a reader. Right now we have two cellphones and one laptop. I don't think I could learn to use much more. This electronic stuff is a lot to keep up with!

What do you own? How much do you need? What is a must for when you travel?

Mr Jack! Is it Jack Be Nimble or Jack Be Quick by chance?

I have enough electronic gadgets that I could recycle the gold out of them and have a couple of ounces. Where do you start? 2) iphones, 1) ipad, 3) ipods, 2) sets of Bose noise cancelling headsets, 1) x-box, 3 HD TV's in the coach when we roll.....If I'm missing something I'll add it. Of Express1 a fully stocked liqueur cabinet.

Don't know if I have a number one go to gadget, seems like I couldn't get by without a combination. :-)

I have a JVC digital media receiver that I paid under $90 for that has hands free bluetooth (I consider this a must), iPhone/iTouch/Android compatible, front USB and AUX connections. My wife loves audible books and they make the miles roll by really fast. With the USB connection I can load up a thumb drive with assorted music and put it on random-all and have hours/days of music. With the AUX connection I can listen to my portable XM radio.

I also have a WiFi hotspot app on my phone that allows me to use the laptop on the road. This works great for finding the best price on diesel, and then I use Google maps to route me there. This also works for restaurants, golf courses, RV dump stations, service facilities, etc.

I also have a Garmin GPS, I use this in conjunction with the Google maps. Google maps is more up to date, but wants to route you on side roads on occasion and I use the Garmin to decide which routing works out best.

FJ, I've have 23 guns with electronic devices mounted on them but only keep a couple with us in the bus. Maybe I should roof mount one of the bigger guys. Don't get alarmed folks I'm only kidding!
