I know. I have used it. (I get lost a lot.)Watch TVIdeally not while driving. There are a ton of services that will bring mobile TV content to your cell phone, but the coolest way, by far, is with a Slingbox. This little device will take your TV program and sling it all the way to your Windows Mobile phone, no matter where you are, as long as you have a data connection. Watch a demonstration here.Go on a scavenger huntSocialight is cool. I wish more people would use it. It works like this: You leave a sticky shadow in an area about town. Let's say you are visiting New York. You know a lot of people who live in New York, or who travel there periodically. You have just had dinner at the most amazing restaraunt, and you want everyone to know about it. Post a sticky shadow! This way, when anyone who has signed up for Socialight wanders by, they will know that Mario's Pizza on 22nd is the best in the city. They will know because Socialight will send a text message to his or her phone when they are in the area.Oh yes, there are organized scavenger hunts too.

Sometimes you really only have space in your purse/pocket for one gadget. You need a phone that can play MP3's, of course. If you really haven't heard you can do this, and you want to, send me an email and I'll point you in the right direction.Oh yeah! You can still make and receive phone calls! That's the best part.Unless you have Cingular. Then you can check your email and surf the net, but don't try to make a phone call or get a text message. :)
