getting technical

Another day down and less than a week to go. Packing is going smoothly and all the electronic gadgets being tested. I am now armed with a battery charger, an ipod, an iLuv potable stereo speaker into which I can plug the ipod and listen to my music sans earphones....luverly! The iLuv is tiny, only about 6" long and has 2 speakers, perfect for travelling. I am considering a new camera as I have been a little disappointed with mine; I think I need one with a 'stability' factor as i may be shaky in my old age! I am going to look at the latest Canon Powershot 1100 which has good reports...any knowledgeable commentas will be appreciated!
