Stay Connected While on On the Go and Return With Lots of Digital Memories to Share --

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.-Kensington Computer Products Group, a worldwide leader in delivering smart made simple™ computing accessories for the mobile consumer, offers a wide variety of products to enhance the travel experience during the busy summer season. Kensington’s easy to pack, stylish and multi-function products help vacationers get the most out of their digital devices whether they are on a plane, taking an extensive road trip or simply heading out for a day at the beach.

Kensington research shows that the four most frequently used personal technology products carried around during the day are a digital camera, a flash drive, a mobile phone and an MP3 player - devices that can add both pleasure and practical support to summer travel. Research also indicates that 65% of people plan to take their notebook computer with them on vacation. To help vacationers travel lightly and securely with all those digital devices, Kensington offers the following tips:

* Pack smart - Look for products that have a compact shape that will fit conveniently into your bag. Since so many people like to bring their notebook along, a notebook backpack style case with lots of pockets can serve double duty as your travel bag.
* Get a “one size fits all” charger - Back up power during summer travel is a must. Look for accessories that can charge a multitude of products such as your digital camera, MP3 player, mobile phone and notebook computer.
* Keep that notebook locked - Notebook theft takes only seconds and thieves prey on tourists. Keep your notebook secure at all times with a cable-locking system - in a café, on a train, in a hotel room.
* Easy does it - Vacation travel often includes new surprises around every corner - so be ready to “seize the moment” for catching each special scene. Leave complicated devices at home and pack only those that are simple, plug and play, at your fingertips to capture all those split second sights and sounds.

“Summer travel is about fun, family time and capturing special moments without worrying that your digital camera or mobile phone has enough juice to last for the day or that someone is about to steal your notebook,” said Christine Dumery, Director, Marketing Communications at Kensington. “Whether people are off to Pismo Beach or Portland, we have the ”smart made simple“ products that let everyone keep their notebooks and digital devices secure and ready to spring into use at all times.”
