Between speaking at IT conferences, training, and personal\r\ntravel, I spend a lot of time in the air. In fact, when people ask what I do\r\nfor a living, my wife often jokes that I am a professional airline passenger. My\r\nSurface tablet is my go-to resource for avoiding boredom during long flights,\r\nand this article lists five apps I like to use when I travel.

Smarter Battery sells for $14, but a free trial is available\r\nfor download.
