1. Memory Card Travel Case.
Digital and video cameras, MP3 players, PDAs and even some cell
phones require memory cards, and if that were not enough, such
memory cards come in a dizzying array of formats: CompactFlash
1/II, MD, SM, SD miniSD, MS Pro and Duo and xCard, among others. To
keep all such cards safe and accessible when you travel, Digital
Foci is offering this brushed aluminum shell organizer with
stackable slots for eight memory cards of varying sizes and
formats. $19.95; www.digitalfoci.com.
2. Lunch
& Go. This next-generation lunch box is a portable,
heated (but cordless) 
meal carrier
comprising an insulated pouch and an energy pack. The energy cell,
a plastic shell surrounded a synthetic sponge impregnated with a
salt-based, nontoxic solution, somehow produces on-demand heat for
over five hours or stays cold for more than 10 hours. Lunch &
Go provides a convenient meal alternative -- breakfast and lunch,
too -- for dieters, vegetarians and diabetics as well as those
travelers who find it hard to locate specific cultural meal
preferences. $24.95; www.warmandtote.com.
3. Magellan
RoadMate 860T. This portable vehicle-navigation system

text-to-speech capability that announces the street name for
upcoming driving maneuvers and 10GB of memory for storing
multimedia files such as MP3s and photos. The RoadMate 860T
package, which includes a windshield mount and vehicle power
adapter, provides visual and voice instructions for the U.S.,
Puerto Rico, Canada and U.S. Virgin Islands. Preloaded maps are
available for 27 European countries for a fee. About $650; www.magellanGPS.com.
4.
Ultrasone iCans Stereo Headphones. These high-quality
headphones are a significant improvement over standard equipment
for MP3 players and other portable audio devices. 
According to the manufacturer, the technology used
enables iCans to "sound as loud as other headphones set to volumes
40% higher," which protects the quality of the music and keeps the
user from going stone deaf. The headphones are adjustable to fit
snugly without being tight, and the arms are hinged to enable the
headphones to fit into a compact metal carrying box. $129; www.ultrasoneusa.com.
5. Delsey
250 GX Trolley Duffel.With tighter airport security rules
forcing passengers to cram carry-on items in their checked luggage,
the need for large, lightweight bags has become obvious. One
solution is this rolling duffel from Delsey, which measures a roomy
30 x 15 x 15 inches but weighs only 10.4 pounds. Constructed of
durable ballistic Dupont Teflon over a graphite copolymer frame,
the bag features recessed, inline-skate wheels: an aluminum,
recessed handle with ergonomic "soft touch" grip; fully lined
interior; and a self-repairing nylon coil zipper. $169.99; www.delseyusa.com.
