This iPad and iPhone user is about to hit the road | iPad-iPhone road warrior weapons of choice: a 2011 guide

This iPad and iPhone user is about to hit the road for about a month. It's a cross country journey that'll see me living out of suitcases and staying in one too many hotels as I work my way westward in time for CES, Macworld 2011, and quite a bit else along the way. With most of what I own packed away (did I mention I'm also moving to a new residence in the process?), I thought I'd take a moment to share to iPad, iPhone, and MacBook related tools that I've chosen to keep handy at all times over the next five weeks. Some of these products are more perfect than others, so to speak, but they're what I rely on when I'm playing road warrior. Depending on your travel situation, you may find them handy as well:

Mophie Juice Pack Plus for iPhone 4: Even as comparatively long lasting as the iPhone 4 internal battery is, working from the road often means whipping out my iPhone and doing "real" work directly on it. Try that for an hour and see what's left of the internal battery. The Juice Pack Plus doubles my iPhone'sbattery and fits perfectly with it stylistically. Learn more.

Dexim P-Flip for iPhone 4: Too many hotel rooms don't have an electrical outlet next to the bed. And because I'm too insecure to leave my iPhone on the other side of the room while I'm sleeping, I get around that quandary by docking it in the P-Flip overnight. It's a flipstand with a battery built in, meaning that so long as I remember to charge up the P-Flip during the day, it'll keep my iPhone 4 fully charged overnight. Also doubles as a bottom snap-on battery in a pinch. Learn more.

Kensington PowerBack for iPad: The first of its kind, the PowerBack is to the iPad what battery cases are to the iPhone. Killing the iPad's long lasting battery isn't easy, but this product gives me the freedom to. Learn more.

ZAGGmate with Keyboard for iPad: For day to day iPad use, I have no problem with its virtual keyboard. But in those instances where I'm using my iPad in place of a laptop, writing full length articles on it, that's when I like to break out the physical keyboard. When I'm at home, Apple's own iPad Keyboard Dock is my weapon of choice. But it's not really meant for travel. So I travel with the ZAGGmate with Keyboard, which is designed with portability in mind. Learn more.

Kensington PowerBolt Duo: Most carcarchargers are a dime a dozen. But rise of micro chargers, which eliminate the traditional big bulb design in favor of a barely-there streamlined look, changed all that. A dual micro charger, one of whose ports charges the iPad at fast speeds? Let's just say that the ability to keep both my iPad and iPhone charging while I'm driving, and with a small form factor charger, is of value. Learn more.

Twelve South BassJump for MacBook: My MacBook Pro is my main computer whether I'm at home or on the road. Naturally, at home I've got it connected to nice multi-component speaker system. On that road that's not so practical. Rather than lugging along a traditional small two piece speaker system which sounds like a small two piece system, I instead opt for this little USB subwoofer which works in conjunction with my MacBook's built-in tweeters instead of replacing them. The result is a form of 2.1 audio from my MacBook which only requires me to haul one speaker unit. Learn more.
