The iPod's impact on Travel

It's no secret I dig my gadgets. And one of the coolest of all gadgets is the iPod. National Geographic Traveler Magazine has posted a really cool little article about how useful the iPod can be when taking a trip. Of course, we all know that it can provide hours of entertainment on a long flight, but the other suggestions on the list include using it to store your digital pictures, listening to an audio version of a travel book, or taking a podcast tour.

Personally, I love being able to put on some headphones and some quiet music, allowing me to get a little sleep on a plane. I suffer from the affliction of not being able to sleep while flying, and it has not helped on those 12+ hour flights.
