Anyone who makes more than just a few business trips a year knows that getting there is certainly no longer part of the fun.

So she's come up with a few items sure to keep her traveling friends comfortable en route…

• Instead of losing power when listening to an iPod or other MP3 player on an airplane, this Inflight Power device keeps the music – or game – player charged. It just ‘plugs' into the audio jack on an airplane seat and draws power from that. And with the new battery boost option, it can provide a charge even when it's not plugged into the seat. It can also be used to charge cell phones and BlackBerrys during a flight.
