Stuff I used at Lotusphere, and stuff I did not
by Volker Weber
While traveling to Lotusphere I hardly ever post here (or elsewhere). I am way too busy talking to other people or getting work done. Speaking of which, here is a list of things that worked really well and got a lot of usage:
- Apple iPad 2 with smartcover, Belkin FlipBlade Adjust, Belkin keyboard. Works a treat. The only thing that would replace this combo is a tricked out 11" MacBook Air.
- Belkin bag. I never use any conference bags.
- iPad nano with LunaTik. Never fails to attract attention.
- Ultimate Ears ECH on the plane.
- Kindle for reading, PlayBook for watching movies. Yes, three tablets. How crazy is that?
- iPhone 4S for everything from shooting photos, HD video, interviews, video calls home.
- BlackBerry Bold 9900 for being connected all of the time. When WiFi crapped out in large sessions, the BB would soldier on.
- Belkin dual band travel router. A lot less bulk than the AirPort Express. Runs off USB power.
Stuff I hardly used, although I thought I would:
- Canon G11. Hardly took any photos at all. Sorry guys, no Lotusphere themed series this year.
- Olloclip lenses for the iPhone. Maybe it's a novelty that quickly wears off.
If I have one regret, it would be that I had a tight schedule and did not have much time to hang out with the gang. You know who you are.

Barely saw you sir. Hopefully we will meet again soon.

What's a "tricked out MBA"?
