I have two 13" MacBook Airs - one from work and one that I got before starting at Facebook.
My phone's a 16GB iPhone 4S, with a black Snap Case from a few years ago.
For ebooks and really long articles, I read with a Kindle Touch.
I carry the DSLR around in an old Domke shoulder bag.
Communication
I'm a content strategist at Facebook.
I use a couple of accounts from Google for mail, calendars, and sharing docs.
I read and reply to email in Apple Mail.
Facebook Messenger (iOS)+ 6 others
For chat, I've moved to using Facebook Messenger way more than I expected to.
My book highlights and recommendations sync to Readmill from my Kindle.
Productivity
I'd be lying if I said I never open Word, but that's only to edit things other people send me.
Browser
I'm still stuck on Safari after all these years.
Notes
And last but not least, I put private thoughts and random memories into Day One.
Security
Coding & Development
Design
Media
My backlog of Radiolab, 99% Invisible, and This American Life episodes are now in Instacast.
Storage
Dropbox syncs my files across my different Apple devices.
iCloud takes care of my contacts and notes.
Other
My personal machine runs Mac OS X Lion; my work machine's on Mountain Lion now.
