If you were to get electronic devices for web marketing and blogging, I’d recommend three basic types of gadgets:

  • A Laptop
  • A Digital Camera
  • A Internet capable Cell Phone

Optionally, get a bluetooth connector to hook up your laptop and cellphone. Here is what I have right now:

  • Endura Laptop - it’s not the best but it’s probably the cheapest around Manila now. I bought this last December, 2006. I get to work and type away. I failed to notice that this didn’t have bluetooth so I’ll have to get a bluetooth dongle at CDR King. If you want to be really mobile, get a vista-ready notebook (hehe).
  • Canon Powershot A410 3.2 Megapixel camera - I’ve always wanted my own digicam. When my officemate recommended a link from TipidPC, I grabbed the chance to get it and viola! I got it! It’s not as cool as Abe’s and Jayvee’s Canon EOS 350D, or Abel’s own digital camera (whatever it was, it sure took some great shots of the SEO Awarding ceremonies).
  • Nokia E61 - Just the other day, I bought this phone to complete my collection. I’ve been hunting around for a decent cell phone and was looking at a Sony Ericsson. Luckily a friend suddenly wanted to sell her phone. I checked it out and liked it. Two things I like about this phone - 3G and Bluetooth.

I can now pretty much take pictures, upload them on my laptop, write articles related to the pictures, use my cellphone as a modem and connect to the Internet wherever I am. Mobile Blogging - gotta love it.

Now if you sell items on your website/blog, you can pretty much do the same thing - take pictures, hook up up your digicam, laptop and cellphone, upload everything on the the net and boom! Online brochure.

By the way, using my trusty Canon Powershot, I also have some pictures of the SEO Awarding ceremonies:
