I have to admit I am kind of materialistic as a personality.

Then again we all have our favourite possessions. For me it’s all those things that are significant to me on a regular basis. The ones that I use several times a month, some several times a day. The ones that I would like to not live without if I had a choice. They are products and providers that I am happy with, in terms of quality.

14. My internet payments services:

Bank of Cyprus Prepaid Card, Paypal

I use my Prepaid card several times a year for any internet purchases. I use is where possible in combination with my PayPal account, where it is the only card I currently have registered. It is accepted anywhere in the world as a standard Visa credit card. I charge it via the Bank of Cyprus internet banking service. Note: charging incurs a 1euro fee and newly deposited funds are available the next day, so make sure you always have enough credit. No need to oevercharge, I never keep more than 200-300 euros on it, except if I am going to make an expensive purchase.

13. My digital camera:

Canon EOS 350D and Canon Ixus 82 IS

12. My r/c helicopter: eSky Honeybee CP2

Actually it’s been due for repairs for over a year now and chances are it will never fly again.

10. My audio/video player:

Apple iPhone 3GS, WD TV Live

Well, the iPhone has taken the place my darling little iPod nano has kept for a couple of year. Now I am just keeping it as a backup.

9. My Data storage device:

WD Passport and WD MyBook

The first is cheap and easy to build, although both IDE cases and IDE drives tend not to be available any more. It’s still good enough with its 60GB capacity and excellent speed to be used as my MojoPac hosting device.

The WD Passport is a compact, cool,fast and reliable portable drive that I use mostly with my MacBook.

The 8GB flash drive is loaded with all my portable apps and still has room for files. And it’s very portable.

8. My GPS navigation device:

Apple iPhone 3GS and Mio Moov 200

I have used the Qtek S100 since 2004 and for several years as my primary GPS navigation tool, with Destinator PN and then Destinator 6, together with the Fortuna BT GPS receiver is extremely fast to startup, sensitive and reliable, and accurate. I still have them both.

Since then I have purchased a Mio Moov 200 that my wife is still using, and I have been using my Nokia n95 8GB as my primary GPS device for over a yeear. The built-in receiver is rather slow to warm-up and lock the coords with the satellites. Finally, although the software and maps of all the world are all free of charge, Nokia requires a regular fee (monthly, annual or even for just a few days, which is good for travelling) for the routing function and for the city guides and traffic info.

Nowadays, I just use my iPhone 3GS with Navigon.

7. My games and multimedia console:

Nintendo Wii Sports with Sports Resort, Microsoft Xbox 360
