TravelTech: A Tab for Travelling Note-takers
The tablet screen size wars may be getting a little silly. First it was the 7-inch screen, introduced by Android-based manufacturers as a more portable alternative to the standard 10-inch screen of the iPad (actually 9.7 inches).

WestJet Reduces Carry-On Allowance
Business travelers may not be happy to hear that WestJet has changed its carry-on baggage allowance. Those flying with the Canadian airline will soon be able to bring along just one carry-on item, plus one personal item, instead of two carry-ons and one personal item.
