Summer is in the air – and Christmas is just around the corner.
That means most of us are planning on travelling for Christmas day with the family – or even the yearly family holidays.
So, will you be technically prepared or challenged when travelling this holiday season?
Being technically prepared
Keeping occupied
Buy a new Apple iPhone 3G for keeping you busy for the long trips. Then, on your new iPhone you can listen to music, play games, access Google Maps, book last minute accommodation, keep in contact with your buddies back home.
Keeping charged
Running out of iPhone battery charge just as you’re trying to take the all important snaps of the little ones unwrapping their presents will cause you lots of frustration… Take a back-up power supply for your iPhone or iPhone 3G:
Or if you’d like a “one-power-pack-suits all gadgets” check out the DLO PowerPack. You can use the included DLO PowerBug, auto charger and dock cables on your iPhone, as well as the family’s iPods, mobile phones, MP3s and any other USB charging devices.
Keeping covered
Digital gadgets and sea water don’t mix! You can protect your iPhone by grabbing the Marware Sportsuit Convertible which includes an armband pouch for early morning jogs along the beach. Also in the pack is a removable belt clip for whenever else you’re out and about with your precious iPhone, I mean family…
There are also heaps of other options available in the way of iPhone covers. Something for everyone!
Keeping clean and germ-free
You’d be amazed (and horrified) by how many infectious germs can be passed on by others using our digital gadgets. Wipe off sticky little niece and nephew fingerprints with the multi-use iKlear Cleaning kit.

A Chinese company’s factory worker – who was working on the production line for the new Apple iPhone – has become an overnight celebrity after her smiling face was accidentally loaded onto an iPhone.
The company, Foxconn, is in Shenzhen. The unidentified worker simply flashed a cute smile and peace sign at her co-worker, whose job it was to test the device’s camera.
The woman’s colleague forgot to delete the photo before it was shipped out.
Once sold to a UK consumer, he found the photos saved on his brand new handset and posted the news of his find onto the MacRumours forum – and it has since spread like wildfire!
Dedicated sites have been set up and speculation is rife as to the smiley girl’s identity. However, I’m sure she would prefer being left alone – and her identity secure?!
The company spokesperson said:
Apple was very understanding and that the Taiwan-based manufacturer was working with the computer giant to prevent similar incidents from reoccurring
Most people’s reaction so far is that it was a nice touch.
One person posted: “It would be great for every Chinese worker who makes your iPhones to take a snap of herself or her factory friends … a hello from a person you would never otherwise meet.”
Great to hear she’s still employed. Just hope she’s not hounded down.
