Stylus Central Foursome Multi-Pens Review
Product Requirements: Any touch screen PDA I think that every time a new PDA is bought, the proud new owner wonders whether it would be best to use the stock stylus, buy a replacement stylus, or try a whole different type of writing instrument. Some people settle – for whatever reason – on the stock

Product Requirements: Device: Compaq iPAQ The Slipper Slim PAQ is a leather play through case for the Compaq iPAQ made by E&B Cases. This case is crafted from black Nappa Cowhide Leather and fits the naked (no expansion sleeves installed) iPAQ Pocket PC. Although this case is a typical E&B “Slipper”, it does have a

Rhodiana iPAQ Cases Review
For the Compaq iPAQ Right up front, I will tell you that the Rhodiana cases make me think of the years when my husband was a Security Specialist in the US Air Force. He had a gear belt that was loaded with items that looked like they were well protected in their holsters – which

Daughter Judie Handmade Sterling Silver Styli Review
Product Requirements: Device: Compaq iPAQ and HP 540 Series Pocket PCs Are you an iPAQ or HP Pocket PC owner and also the type of person that likes to spoil themselves? Or maybe you know an iPAQ or HP owner and are looking for that special gift for them and money really is no object.

Franklin Covey Palm V series Leather Hard Case Review
Product Requirements: Device: Palm V/Vx Personally, I feel that more than any other accessory that you might purchase for your PDA, the case that you choose is one of the biggest reflections of your personality…save maybe the styli. Some people prefer leather, some metal. What if you like both? If so, there’s now a case

FlipCover Review
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
Peter’s GameBox Review
Product Requirements: Device: Pocket PC 207 K free RAM The Programs, Plans and Philosophy At last count, I have more than one hundred registered games running on my PPC. Yet when I have one of those rare spare moments on the road, the game that I almost always turn to is Peter’s GameBox! In fact

Vaja iPAQ + PC Sleeve Case Review
Product Requirements: Compaq iPAQ with PC Card Sleeve I am the first to acknowledge that adding the PC Card Sleeve to the normally svelte iPAQ creates a PDA with brick-like properties. But, I have a confession to make… While it seems like the rest of the world is complaining about the weight and thickness of

Handspring Visor Edge Review

Half Keyboard Review
Product Requirements: Device: Palm m100, III, V, VII series and Handspring Visor Keylink.prc 17k (driver) PDA input devices have become very popular accessories. Even though Palm OS devices have several ways to enter data via the stylus (on screen keyboard, graffiti, etc.), there are people out there that still want the old fashion input abilities

Rex 6000 Review
Product Requirements: Desktop: Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, or 2000 I’m a REX 5000 user, and I find the little device quite useful, though not quite “indispensable” as my cell phone would be. I recently “upgraded” to the REX 6000 and found the experience less than entirely satisfactory. The 6000 hardware is really quite impressive,

I am leaving today for a week in Hawaii! While gone, I will be testing out several new products for the Palm platform, as well as the Omnisky service in areas that actually have it – unlike my West Texas town! I will be taking shots of the Hawaiian scenery with a Kodak PalmPix camera

iPAQ iLID Review
Product Requirements: Compaq iPAQ 3600 series The resourcefulness of PDA owners, and other “gadget-geeks” never ceases to amaze me. When we need something and it isn’t available on the market fast enough to suit us, many times we will go and create the needed item – sometimes from scratch if necessary. I hear a lot
Lamy 2000 4-Color Multi-Pen Review
Product Requirements: Any touch-screen PDA The Lamy 2000 4-color Ball-point, available at Stylus Central, is a multi-pen with a timeless appearance. I was surprised to discover that the design was actually made in 1966, with the introduction of the Lamy 2000 fountain pen. Because I was not very familiar with the Lamy name, I checked

Exclamation Stylus Review
Product Requirements: Device: Any touch screen device Well, it’s not often that I get review something as playful as the Exclamation Stylus, available from Stylus Central. In my opinion, this is a stylus for someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and that wants a desk-object that can double as a toy when they are
