For some reason my original post disappeared into the “ether” so apologies to subscribers to my RSS feed.

During the past year portable media has become more and more mainstream. More people are using digital cameras, smart phones and internet tablets as well as the somewhat portable but not pocketable, laptop computer.

And while not officially consider “portable media” I still consider small print items like business cards, bookmarks and some brochures to be a form of portable media.

Late in 2007 also saw the introduction of the Kindle, a portable digital book reader that also has Internet connectivity for limited purposes.

I bought my iPhone to combine telephone and iPod listening but interestingly enough I use it a lot for sharing digital photos with friends and family as well as quickly accessing information on the Internet like weather, news, e-mail and facts not known by people in a conversation. I’ve even been know to use it in church for the large text options and multiple translations available online via iBiblespace.org but don’t tell anyone.

I hope to purchase and work with other portable media devices for business purposes in the year ahead. What do you value the most when it comes to portable media and what would like to see improved in 2008 to make portable media of more value?
