Smart Umbrella

One of the most common things left behind is an umbrella. It is not something we have with us on regular bases until it rains. So walking out of a restaurant, work, or other places you might not feel like you left anything behind until it starts pouring again and you have no cover. This smart gadget is looking to solve that. It has a built-in GPS so you can locate it and also connects with your smartphone via Bluetooth to remind you to take when rain is in the forecast.

How to Get Your Phone and Tablet Travel Ready

How to Get Your Phone and Tablet Travel Ready

Clear Out Apps

Apps can make your phone or tablet be a lot more useful. Some of these I use on daily basis, some weekly, and other rarer. And then there were some that I barely, if at all, has used. All apps take up space and some a lot more than others. I have plenty of great apps from travel and utilities to productivity and games, but they can fill up available space that can be utilized for photos, videos, and notes.

Going through apps on your device and determining which are still good and which take up too much memory, would help to create extra storage space for your next trip.
