Indeed I'd be concerned that the immigration folk -- if they demanded to know where I'm going, would not be that impressed if I told them, "Well, I can't remember the name of the hotel, it's in my Google Mail though..." Yeah I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to do this if I was flying to the States. Indeed I'd be concerned that the immigration folk — if they demanded to know where I'm going, would not be that impressed if I told them, “Well, I can't remember the name of the hotel, it's in my Google Mail though…”

I won't risk it completely yet ... I always take a printout of everything. Call me a wimp if you like. I go through this drama every time I travel and it is almost always a disaster.

OK, the iPhone has a major design flaw with a non-removable battery. But the phones that the other 99.9% of the world use (and that's an actual stat, not a figure of speech) have removable batteries. Which in my case means I carry a spare literally-£4-off-ebay battery which I literally don't notice in my pocket (I forget it's there) and just swap it in when needed. No need for clever but completely unnecessary 3rd party devices allowing me to use an AA battery. Or whatever.<br><br>Seriously - what IS the issue with battery power?

Seriously – what IS the issue with battery power?
