-Ipod
-Laptop
-DVD's
-Gameboy (trying really hard to hold on for awhile before buying PSP!)

I have a number of websites that I download for offline viewing before I leave or when I am in the lounge. It's funny how many people have no clue you can do this, I am always getting asked how I am on the internet.

Seems like a lot of redundancy. Couldn't you throw a 1GB SD card in the Treo and/or play MP3s off the laptop and leave the shuffle behind?
