They are located in just about any city of decent size, and usually carry many small electronics, in addition to larger things like computers, TVs, car audio, and [...]

I use my iPad 2 a lot. I recharge it almost everyday because I’ve run the battery from 100% to less than 10%. It’s not unknown for me to recharge it twice per day or continue using it after it’s been plugged in. Most of the time I’m using it, I have my Smart Cover [...]

The forthcoming Amazon tablet is now officially leaked thanks to MG Siegler’s (TechCrunch) hand’s-on look at the device. It’s going to be a 7-inch color touch-screen with no physical buttons running Android…well, sort of.

I’m not sure why I’m writing so much about the HP TouchPad lately. I like the device and I like webOS, but the tablet is really my wife’s. I’m kind of stuck on my Android-powered, Asus Transformer. Nevertheless, the story of the HP TouchPad seems to be continuing with more twists, turns and odd occurrences than [...]

Dear Gadget Diary, Yesterday was chemo day. The treatments take about 5 hours, so I had to figure out something to take with me to keep me occupied and entertained for that whole time while sitting in a chair with an IV hooked up to the port in my chest.

I thought I’d start up a new feature where I talk about the gadgets, gear and other ‘stuff’ I use on any random day. Think of it as a gadget diary of sorts… I probably won’t do a post every day (Ok, I know I won’t post one everyday), but I’ll do my best to [...]

Last week, I was invited to Dearborn, Michigan as part of a media event called Forward with Ford, sponsored and funded by Ford Motor Company and their various partners. This is the first such event Ford has done, and the first media event I have been to, so be easy on us both as the [...]

I had the pleasure of representing The Gadgeteer at Craftsman’s Blogger Summit in Chicago recently. This event brought together about a dozen bloggers from different specialties, to highlight the Craftsman name and promote the products through social media and the Internet. We congregated at the Craftsman Experience facility to learn about some of their DIY [...]
Last August I made the decision to break up with AT&T and my iPhone 4 in order to start a new relationship with Verizon and the Motorola Droid X. Although I’ve enjoyed the Android OS and the Droid X more than I thought I would, I’ve continued to miss things about the iPhone. Some of [...]

Just about every one has a cellphone these days. Some held out as long as they could, but eventually they caved and got one. With the amount of choices and availability added with ease of use, it’s hard not to. But having a cellphone really doesn’t mean the same thing for everyone who has one. [...]

In today’s connected home we take pictures digitally, listen to digital audio on our MP3 players, and download and watch digital movies on our HD TV’s. All of these digital media files take up a copious amount of space and the growth of these files is outpacing our ability to store and protect them. Thankfully, [...]

HP decided to end its ‘Think Beyond’ event with a surprise: webOS is coming to other connected devices, including printers, PCs and some form factors you haven’t seen before. HP hasn’t provided any additional details and it plans to do so only in the coming months. Do we think it means that HP plans to release PCs [...]

Today, December 17, 2010, marks the 107th birthday of the greatest gadget of all. The first flight of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It only lasted 12 seconds. But it was the most famous flight of all. Of course we’ve come a long way since then. Technology has improved and advanced the [...]
Gift-giving has long been a way of sharing the joy of Christmas with one another. I love to give gifts, though I’m not that fond of picking them out. I’m also hard to buy for, because when I want or need something, I typically do a boat-load of research to pick out just the right [...]

Smartphones are the hottest electronic item as of the last year or so. With the iPhone and the storm of Android devices in the market, it’s almost impossible to ignore. Retailers are loving the traffic, and as long as the manufacturers keep pumping out new handsets people will be handing over their money. Advertisement is [...]

I had been trying to come up with my wish list for this holiday season when it struck me. Rather than try to figure out what are the coolest things I have seen or reviewed this year, I just need to look at what products I continually use well after I have reviewed them. You [...]

I am the hardest person on earth to buy things for. I don’t really NEED anything because if there’s something I want, I either already have one that does the same thing, or it’s too ridiculous… unless someone has a coupon for a 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition.
