What Devices do the TravelBlogCamp Bloggers Use?

I wish I had heard about this event before today because I would have made an effort to get over to London for a chat and a few beers. I’m sure we could have a great conversation around the mobile computing devices and that I could learn a lot from the bloggers that are attending.

If you’re attending TravelBlogCamp and want to share your mobile computing hardware experience, please please please drop us a line and let us know what device you use, the problems you’ve had and how you’d like to improve your mobile blogging setup.

Do you have enough battery life? Is the keyboard big enough? Have you ever had equipment failure? How much of an issue is cost? Theft? Customs? Have you ever used a solar charging solution?

We’ll gather any feedback together into an article.

In the meantime what would be your suggestion for the perfect travel blogging device? The keyboard requirement pushes us up to 10 inch screens unless you go with a modular, tablet-based setup. The weight needs to be kept low though. Battery life needs to be at least 4hrs and you need to be ale to buy a cheap spare battery. SSD would be ideal but there aren’t many devices out there with just SSD now. I would be taking a close look for offers on the ASUS S101. With SSD, draft-N support, good battery life, matt screen and 1.1kg weight it has a good set of specifications. Price is a little on the high side though. How about the MSI U115? It’s also light, has the OS on an SSD, a matt screen and has amazing battery life. Again, quite expensive though.
