Not so handy gadgets

My Sony Walkman, Casio camera and Sony-Ericsson mobile are all beautifully designed. They're small, sleek, stylish and very user friendly. So much thought must have gone into the designs to make hi-tech accessible to a technophobe like me.

But take a look at the bucket of stuff I have to take with me to keep them all working! Is it asking too much for manufacturers to come up with a single recharging/downloading system so you could travel with just one cable?
