IPad was the best for traveling alone. Luckily I purchased the AT&T model which has a *discreet* sim card slot on the side. When arriving abroad it was easy to buy a sim card and replace it in the slot - for about $30 rather than getting foreign roaming charges. Also, loved the ipad for mapping (maps in Italy weren't so good) so you can at least figure out where you are, on occasion. Also, loading the ipad with rental movies from itunes for $4 each means watching what you want on the plane when the mood strikes - instead of having to watch what is available. Also, it is nice to be able to look up a few words of politeness for the locals. I really like the PacSafe 200 bag. It is a little heavy but it makes me feel more at ease traveling with expensive electronics. It is not slashable, the straps can't be cut, and the zippers lock together (http://www.amazon.com/Pacsafe-Venturesafe-Compact-Travel-Size/dp/B003DVXBWW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1336788163&sr=8-3 )
