Since I started my own blog, my little 10-inch net book (which apparently can be viewed as something between a laptop and a notepad) has hugely helped me when I am out of the house. It’s so convenient to be able to work even for half an hour a day when I am in a hotel or an aiport. I started out this online venture in order to be able to travel without the fear of losing my job; such gadgets are life-savers. Thanks Amarendra and Sai.

For a truly flexible & innovative business, consider a personal projector that allows you to take your presentation with you anywhere, without even needing a laptop. For example, the 3M MP180 lets you load your presentation on to the device and go with up to 2 hours battery life.
