The Best Travel Gadgets of 2009

Moving around town — or between cities — with a growing load of gadgets is getting to be a hassle. For easier travels, take a page from photographers, who neatly load all their lenses and cameras into the cool Lowepro Fastpack 250. Its cubbyholes and side pockets make neat resting places for your devices and batteries, and the inner sanctum has enough room for laptop screens up to 15.4 in. (Those with larger laptops can opt for the 350 model.) Another nice benefit of the Fastpack: it comfortably fits underneath an airline seat or in the overhead.
