I got me one of those Bodum french press travel mug combos and I gotta say I like it a lot. Saves me from faffing about with teaballs and all that, and I might be imagining things but I always preferred french press tea. Tastes better. Could be a solution for those of you with tight morning schedules as well, I guess. Just pop in some hot water and tea and off you go.

Ya, some of the water will be touching the leaves at alle times so it's not for the super-hardcore. You are making some trade-offs for practicality. I don't notice any change in flavour but I'm not that fussy about it to be honest. Nor are my choices in tea noted for being particularily fragile or demanding. Also note that they say on the box that it's not leak proof and not meant for transport, so sticking it in your backpack seems like a bad idea.

The french press system is like an antenna sticking out of the lid while the tea is steeping, and unnoticable when it's pushed in. Of course, you can't take the lid off to add sugar or milk or whatever, but the drinking hole is large enough for just about anything but sugar cubes.
