Would you listen to sound files or watch online videos?

I'm beginning to consider what electronic toys I want to have with me when we go back to Mexico... an enjoyable way to daydream about that return. I'm going to have my own digital camera, probably a smallish one so I'll carry it around a lot but with enough megapixels that I can really get serious with the images if I want to print them on paper.

I'm going to have a cellphone with a US number, as I blogged a while ago. That plan from Verizon (gotta be Verizon as it's the only company that gets a signal in our remote Colorado town) doesn't include a cellphone, so I'll be buying something. One thing I'd like to be able to do is make short sound recordings, for example of street musicians, or of me walking along some fascinating place and describing what I'm seeing around me. My thought is I'd add these to the blog. I'm guessing that some cellphones can do this with enough quality, but I haven't done my homework. I'm looking forward to a cellphone with a bit of a camera too, for blogging.

Kelly will likely have a small digital camcorder with him. After years of being a professional videographer, he hasn't done much with it lately and is looking forward to getting back to it. We'd be able to put short videos up on the site.

I'd love to hear from anyone out there... does this appeal? And do you have any equipment recommendations?
