Travel Technology - National Geographic's Travel with Ipod

National Geographic Traveller (http://www.nationalgeographic.com/traveler/resources/st_travelswithipod0604/ipod.html) has a list of tips for travelling with ipods. Most of them are pretty obvious, but there's a couple of good ones I didn't know about. Ijourney (http://www.ijourneys.com/) has a stupid name, but looks like a great idea.

Yes, that does look cool, wonder if they got the idea from the exhibit guides in museums. ..

If you are going to Paris you can check out the free podtours Rick Steves. Same concept. Maps are included as well.

This is a really cool idea, I will have to check out the guides next time I fly. Thanks for the link!

I have another tip. Buy your IPOD with Amex Purchase Protection so when the darn little Nano slips out of your pocket and gets lost, you can get another one for free. Also back up your music.

I use Anapod which comes with Copygear for the backups which I used fortunately, but I bought my Ipod with a Visa. :(

The next one will be bought with my Amex.
