Kindle 6" International - I think this is one of the most awesome devices since sliced bread or the iPhone.
Laptops - Sony Vaio 13" Laptop for travel/meetings (weighs nothing, lasts 8 hrs on single charge, awesome bright screen) & Macbook 13" for home (weighs more, battery sucks, but I like the UI) - I do a lot of work while traveling - either presenting current projects or writing something new.
Productivity
Office (used for writing, spreadsheeting, etc) - Word, Excel, what more needs be said?
Browser
Chrome (VPN to SF to get around the "Great Firewall") - The simple, clean interface is what keeps me coming back.
Coding & Development
Design
Unreal 3 - Epic has big offices here in China, provide great support for their software, and are friendly to our studio.
Photoshop CS4 - I mostly use it to paste co-workers heads into scenarios they don't find funny.
