As many people are.
It’s a good idea to take some precautions like these.
Take a photo of your address book with your digital camera so that if you lose it you’ve a better chance of getting it back.
Also, before you leave, email yourself with all the important information such as the flight details and your passport and driving licence numbers.
That way, if your bag or wallet goes missing, all you need to do is find an internet café, log on and you’ve got all your details to hand.

New from HTC is the MTeoR Smartphone. Thankfully the product-naming department was not involved in the design of this neat little unit, which is extremely slick. The outer shell is a mix of smooth metal and rubber coating, and its light yet reassuring weight makes it feel sturdy and built to last.
The excellent 2.2-inch LCD screen is bright and gives accurate and clear colour reproduction, with enough space to comfortably read emails although not so good for documents.
With a flavour of BlackBerry about it the inclusion of a jog wheel is welcome, and the keypad is comfortable to type on and feels good to press, as does the extremely functional navigation stick.
Disappointingly, the 300Mhz processor fails to deliver a snappy performance when dealing with Windows Mobile OS, giving regular and noticeable loading times.
Though this won’t hinder general use, the MTeoR’s lack the responsiveness is noticeable compared to similar models.
Overall, this is a well-built, stylish smartphone, with enough functionality to satisfy most people’s demands expect to pay around £305 without a contract.

We consider Sony's announcement of its PS3 delays
After the repeated denials from Sony in recent months its ambitious plans for a near-simultaneous global launch for the console have been dashed.
The reason for this is due to a shortage of essential blue laser diodes needed in the manufacture of both Blu-ray and HD DVD players.
It’s not like we haven’t experienced such problems before but it must be a huge disappointment for Sony as much as it is for gamers and developers.
So what are the implications of today's news for the console market?
Of course it goes without saying that it's going to be a bumper Christmas for Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's Xbox 360 again.
But look on the bright side, if you do decide resist temptation this delay should mean that more PS3 units available on launch day, which could reduce the frustration experienced with the launch of the Xbox360.
Of course the underlying problem causing the delay, the lack of Blue Laser diodes, is focusing attention on what this means for the impact of Blu-ray since the console was seen as Sony's secret weapon in the Blu-ray versus HD-DVD war as we reported in one of our earlier posts.
Ultimately though the PS3 isn't going flop simply because of this delay, just like the PS2 was snapped up by all those PSone fans those Sony diehards will still buy it. But that doesn't stop the news from being a big blow to the console community.
