Force feedback devices are really in vogue right now. If you don’t happen to
know what force feedback is, it is a device that gives you sensory feedback to
your actions. For example, a force feedback joystick might give you the feeling
of recoil when you shoot a gun in a game. The … [visit site to read more]

Some people are really lucky, they live in areas where there is wireless
modem coverage. They can check their email and browse websites on their
PDAs whenever and where ever they please. Those of us that aren’t so lucky
are destined to remain wired and as such, must use a regular
landline modem … [visit site to read more]

I’ve admitted this before, and I’ll do it again, I’m a slug. My favorite past
time is plopping my butt in my Lazy Boy to watch some totally brain numbing
reality TV show (Hey, when does Survivor 3 start?!). As a result, you can
imagine that it takes a lot to get me motivated to … [visit site to read more]

FlipCover Review

Judie Lipsett — Tue, 20 Mar 2001 06:00:00 +0000

Product Requirements:
Device: Handspring Visor,
Visor Deluxe, and Visor Platinum
Not for use with Prism or Edge; but there is a separate model for the Prism, and
the Edge doesn’t need one…

One of the few peeves I have about the Handspring Visor’s design is the fact
that there is no integrated flip-lid. Sure, there is the included snap-on face
plate, but it’s just not the same. I suppose that I … [visit site to read more]

OmniRemote Springboard Module Review

Don Damiani — Sat, 24 Feb 2001 06:00:00 +0000

Many years ago I got my first remote control TV. I thought, "Wow, using a remote
is cool!!". Then I got a VCR. And a Satellite Dish. And a CD player. Etc…And along
with every new device, came another remote control. I have 5 remote controls stacked on
the book case in our family room. (OK, so remote number 5 is a broken one without
batteries for the kids to play with, but you get the picture

Visor Backup Module Review

Don Damiani — Mon, 07 Feb 2000 06:00:00 +0000

In my business travels during the last week I met and
exchanged contact information with many people. We showed off our PDAs, and of
course, beamed data back and forth. All of them had Palm computers, either the
Palm III of Palm V. I was the only one in our group with a green Visor
Deluxe. Having been unable to bring along our cradles for the week, I was
also the only one with a foolproof method of backing up their PDA.
