Here is the challenge with today’s mobile devices. They are generally good at some things and bad at others. You need a device and a set of chargers for various functions. For example, on your vacation — you need a cell phone and a camera. Some such as your truly will even add an e-mail device and web tablet to this list.<\/p>\n
