I also love having dual monitors, and for that I have a 23.6" Asus VS247H-P HD LCD monitor.
I've only owned a smart phone for about three years - I only purchased a Galaxy S II to take advantage of a company's smartphone reimbursement policy.
I now have a Galaxy S III, which is pretty much the only hardware I use to test mobile.
For Christmas, my intergalactic superforce megazord brother gifted me a Kindle Paperwhite, which I initially shunned, but now always have with me unless I'm biking.
Productivity
And for those same things offline, I use OpenOffice.
Notes
For creating quick notes and bookmarking articles to read for later, I use Evernote.
Coding & Development
When I'm coding at home, I use and love Sublime Text.
For debugging my code, I find Chrome DevTools indispensable - gotta love that emulator feature!
Design
I dabble in visual design and have some experience creating design mock ups in Photoshop.
I also recently created my first print design for my best friend's wedding program and menus in Illustrator.
Media
I've also used Gimp, but to be frank, nothing compares to the power of Adobe's products.
Storage
For online documents of greater length, like articles, applications, and presentations drafts, I use Google Drive.
