Store Data, Find Hotspots With the Same Gadget

The discerning gadgeteer knows that the real question is not whether one should buy combination gadgets, but which combinations to get. Cell phone/camera? Camera/camcorder? Camcorder/media player? Media player/PDA? PDA/cell phone? All of the above?

Fortunately, some combo gadgets are so small (and, hopefully, so cheap) that it's a no-brainer. For example, the Wifi Walker is one of many gadgets that lets you search for free wireless access points when you've just got to get an e-mail fix. Rather than add another bit of plastic and metal to your keychain, this one doubles as a USB flash drive. No word yet on pricing, availability, or even storage capacity, but while we wait you can use the time to figure out what to do with the 892 other USB flash drives you've accumulated.
