Gadget Roundup:

Canon Powershot A70 digital camera
Pros: the cheapest camera Charlotte was willing to consider; reasonably compact; feature rich; high resolution
Cons: seems to be fussy about light conditions; too many damn features
compact flash reader
We probably won't need it on the road, but it's small and it can't hurt.
Hiptop phone/pda/net device
Pros: small for a PDA--phone/email/web in one device; reasonable monthly fees; extremely stylish
Cons: big for a cellphone; coverage appears to be spotty; no third-party applications (SSH, for example, would be very nice--if something goes wrong with this site, I dunno when I'll be able to fiddle with it.)
Hiptop recharger
Hiptop car recharger
Cheap Maganvox MP3 CD player
Just when we'd decided to forego an MP3 player and make do with my elderly Discman, we found a $40 player at Target. I've spent much of today buring four CDs with several days worth of music.
Radio Tranceiver
A nifty little device that transmits a radio signal from the MP3 player to the car radio. Eats AA batteries like popcorn.
car power cord for MP3 player
Sony CD boombox
what we were supposed to be buying at Target. For dance classes and other outdoor use
Car Battery Recharger
Big ugly other battery recharger
for the D cells that Charlotte's boombox takes
Two FRS radios

Whew. I feel exhausted already.
