Don't get bored on your next work trip. Director has six gadgets to keep you happy

Blackberry Bold
The latest "crackberry" is the first to support HSDPA [High-speed Downlink Packet Access], giving you super-quick downloads on the go. There's a new, brighter screen, a trackball that's as good as a mouse for exploring Web pages, not to mention the unbeatable email service. If you're a businessperson who travels, this is as essential as a passport.

Aliph Jawbone
Just half the size of the previous model, this new Bluetooth headset features noise cancellation technology taken from military helicopters: having dealt with chopper engines, taking a call on the M25 will be a doddle for it. It detects how and when you're speaking, models it, and eliminates the background noise.
£80, www.jawbone.com

Toshiba Qosmio F50
It's not all work, work, work. When you've logged off your email for the day, why not check out a film? This laptop upscales DVDs to near Hi-Def quality, and you control it by directing hand gestures at the webcam. The processor is separate, so you can operate other programmes without slowing down the film at all.

iPhone 3G
Finally. The iPhone has been updated to feature 3G technology, which makes getting online far quicker. This is great for surfing the internet and downloading attachments (a four-minute song will take about 30 seconds, as opposed to five minutes with the first generation model). Sure, there are other smart phones available, but none is sexier than this.

Creative Aurvana X-Fi
You've had an early start, have a list of documents to read before the meeting, and you're sitting next to a screaming child. Great. But flick a switch and these headphones will cancel out background noise, letting you read in peace. And when you fancy some music, another button restores the detail lost in compressed MP3s. Scream away, small boy, I can't hear you.

Nintendo DS
The PSP may have better graphics, but so what? What makes a console is games. And with such classics as Professor Kawashima's Brain Training, Guitar Hero on Tour, and even Cooking Guide—suggesting recipes for your ingredients—you'll never resort to a bad film in your hotel room again. Just don't forget the hang the Do Not Disturb sign on the door when strumming away at Guitar Hero.
