It's not surprising nowadays in the increasingly technological age we live in, that there are those who like to be linked-in as best they can. At one time gadgets and mobile technology was something of a fad, a novelty flattering our intelligence; now, when we are increasingly required to be available through various media, having the means to gain access to these channels is becoming a necessity. Think about what would happen if you failed to log in to your online bulletin for a week, and you'll see what I mean.

So we're edging away from the whimsy of friendly robots and other kitsch to look at a triptych of helpful gadgets currently on the market today, the holy trinity, if you will. With a bit of luck, what we find will still have that element of fun, but most of all, these advancements will help us to be more flexible and self-reliant in our contact with technology.

Wi-fi Detector T-Shirt: This quite regular looking black t-shirt is in fact a tool for finding the best position for your wireless internet access anywhere you go. In the presence of unencrypted wireless signal, the beacon design in the centre illuminates in different depths, just as the panel on your laptop reacts to changes in signal strength. So if you're out and about in the city and need to be online fast, you have a kind of Wi-fi dowsing rod to help you find your way.

Solar Charger: There was a time when solar powered gadgets were altogether on the weak side, discounting perhaps the humble pocket calculator. But modern solar chargers can act as a mobile powerhouse for your portable equipment, making sure you're never left unable to get in touch. New solar charger kits are able to completely replenish batteries of digital cameras such as professional SLRs, run iPods and iPhones for 70 hours standby time, and power Ebooks for more than 5000 pages. Switching between various voltages means with your solar charger you can power up just about any portable device to make you truly independent when on the move.

Mobile Printer: When you need true paper copies on the run, or have a hand-in deadline that can't wait, then check out the mobile, Bluetooth-enabled printer. There are only a few about at the moment, and the Brother MW-260 is by far one of the sleekest, most versatile models yet. With printing from laptops and PCs via USB, or via Bluetooth, the MW-260 is unique in that it automatically adjusts Windows A4 size to its neat, portable A6 format, saving you the hassle of changing page parameters. Easily the best solution to the problem of providing hard copy outside the office.

On inspection and after a bit of thought, these three items appear to be the most useful and practical ways to allow us to utilize technology on the move today. There are of course many other devices available, but these three somehow complement each other and provide support and innovation when it's needed most, and far from being novelties or whimsical gifts, they become incredibly powerful tools when used in conjunction with one another.
