Business Travelers Lighten Loads

Business travelers have found a way to lighten their load when flying - by leaving laptops at home.

A few years ago, leaving a laptop at home would have left many travelers isolated and cut off from the rest of the world…but as a USA Today article reports, the technology surrounding Smart Phones has made this possible.

Smart Phones with fast email and internet access like the Apple iPhone and Blackberrys have made it easy to stay connected to the office on the road…and occupy much less space than a laptop would.

With increased fees from airlines for baggage weight and checking, phones are becoming even more convenient to stay connected.

Do you bring a laptop when you travel? Have you ditched your laptop for your Smart Phone?
