Traveling Companions

iGo EverywherePower ($140)
The iGo EverywherePower plugs into a wall or airplane outlet and can charge your computer, phone, PDA, camera and MP3 player. So you can leave your chargers at home. But for each device you'll need a separate adapter — they cost about $10 each.

Brookstone Massaging Travel Pillow ($35)
Fleece-covered and inflatable, this neck pillow offers battery-powered massages at low or high speeds. It also shuts off automatically after 15 minutes, so you won't drain the battery if you nod off during your rubdown.

Delphi MyFi Satellite Radio ($300)
Delphi's MyFi is one of the first Walkman-style satellite radios on the market. It tunes in XM Satellite Radio's 150 digital channels and has enough memory to store up to five hours of music.

Sumdex Impact Guard ($26 to $38)
Sumdex's cushioned bag surrounds your laptop with foam padding developed by NASA to protect astronauts from the effects of G-force. The bag comes in five sizes; although they aren't especially pretty, you can fit any one of them inside your computer's existing carrying case.

Tumi Tie Case ($95)
