    I guess my mobile phone could be considered essential, but that is stretching the words meaning. I always travel with my mobile phone, MP3 player + headphones and Kindle.

    Other devices I'd consider taking away with me would be: Camera, Laptop, Nintendo DS and GPS device.

    If I'm going on holiday, then probably just a kindle and a cheapy music player (Sansa Clip). The fewer gadgets the better, IMO.

    A work trip? Well, I guess I'd have a laptop, phone, Kindle, cheapy MP3 player.

    This years holiday to Kos we took One cheapo MP3 player + earbuds, and digital camera (simple compact)... er that was it. Even that we barely used. We left the mobile phone at home so we wouldn't have to be bothered by calls, or risk losing it.

    We take real paper books with us as we don't like the Kindle, and can't justify the expense for a tablet like an iPad.

    When we went touring around Italy last year all we took was the camera!

    Phone, noise cancelling headphones, laptop, DSLR.

    If its work, the camera stays at home.

    Essential? Just my phone. Ultimately, it can do the job of GPS, camera, MP3 player, e-reader all in one unit. Obviously the specific kit will be better, but that doesn't qualify them as essential.

    Realistically, probably the Kindle plus my phone. I'm not big on photography

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    15" laptop, Phone 1 (HTC Sensation), Phone 2 (Blackberry 9000), Digital SLR (plus lenses, flash, etc.), 2tb external harddrive, 2 x PSP, 2 x Nintendo DS - These days we only fly long haul. So imagine that lot in a backpack, plus the wife's handluggage, and enough assorted crap to keep four kids happy for 18 hours...I do not travel light
