Electronic stuff

It’s time to pack and no wonder I have started with the electronic equipment.
In order to update as soon as possible the blog, and share my experiences anywhere I go (even in the middle of the desert where no cyber café’s are available) I have chosen the new Asus laptop, the EEE PC.
Why? Not only because of its incredible size (22.5 x 16.4 x 2.15) and weight (only 920 g!!!), but also because it allows to use wireless networks. Built with 3 USB 2.0 and one SD card ports, this small laptop will prove to be very useful during the trip.
I choose this computer to avoid taking risks with a much more classical computer, which are also much more bulky . Cost: 299 €.
Concerning videos, i almost fell in love with the new movie camera HDR-CX7 (Sony). HD will allow me to reproduce the wonderful images I will be seeing, and hopefully show it to you in a wonderful movie and short videoclips. With 3,2 Mega Pixel, a quite small size (67×69×129 mm), and 450 g, I feel I have found my perfect match! Cost: 749,00 €
In matters of photography, I’ll be taking with me my Panasonic Lumix 12 Mega Pixel. Again, very compact and yet efficient; it will help me deliver all these wonderful pics and some more videos in case I don’t have the camera ready. I’m also taking 2 SD cards (4 Go each). I find my Lumix a real good asset since its running time is 4/5 hours so no running for batteries at crazy times! Cost : 349 €
To help me organising my daily impressions and to build a real digital diary, (hello podcasts!) , I will be also taking this Olympus handheld recorder. Cost: 39,90 €
Finally, I’ll probably buy a pedometer, to give some precise indications about the mileage.
