I returned the Zune and Everex laptop to Walmart today. It’s been awhile since I’d purchased electronics from them and had to return something, so I wasn’t too surprised when they had to call up someone from that department to come to the service area to check things out. I figured it was for the […]
Remember this past Spring when I reviewed the QUAD-Roller Massaging Cushion from HoMedics? Now this mostly home health product maker has branched out to create a home entertainment product. The iCush, is a what HoMedics describes as a immersive audio sync seat. Translated into plain gadgeteer speak, it’s a cushion that automatically vibrates to sound input, and has built in speakers.

Well, it appears that my Zune has a defect. I set it up this morning and copied over about 20-30 folders full of .MP3 files. Syncing appeared to work as expected (although a bit slow), but when I went to listen to the music in my car at lunch, all the songs skipped like they

I went ahead and picked up a Zune last night along with a cheapo Everex laptop at my good old Super Walmart store. I opted for the White version because to me the Black one is boring and the Brown one looks… well… I’m not going to say it… ;o) So far I’ve only managed

Today is Zune day and I’ve yet to make up my mind about purchasing one. First of all, to even review it, I’d need a Windows computer (which I don’t have at the moment… no, I’m not soiling my 24″ iMac, so don’t even think about it ;o) ). Then there’s the horror stories that

She beat me to Venice, arriving on a special boat that I later saw docked on the Grand Canal. We had both been in transit for days, and I was excited for us to finally be in the same place at the same time. I thought I would be the first one to arrive when I boarded the westbound train earlier that day, but she was waiting for me in the hotel lobby. She was beautiful.

Trying to find my perfect smartphone has been causing me the same frustration as trying to find my perfect gear bag. The quest just never ends because I’ve come to realize that there isn’t any one perfect phone (or gear bag) out there for me. The whole trick is to find one that comes as close as possible. This review is for the Hewlett Packard iPAQ hw6945 Mobile Messenger; a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC phone. The question is, will it become my new “perfect” smartphone?

A person very close to me had to have a PET (Positron emission tomography) scan yesterday. I’d never heard of this type of diagnostic x-ray and suggested that she ask the technician if she could get a copy of the image emailed to her or something. I thought it might be interesting to look at…

As The Gadgeteer, I feel like I am not doing my job if I don’t have the latest and greatest mobile phones in my pocket, but when it comes to my landline phone, it is a 2yr old 2.4GHz boring Panasonic answering machine / handset. Whee… You know me though, I’m always up for trying something new, so when the folks representing Vtech asked if I would like to test some of their phones, I said sure!

When I recently replaced my Powerbook for a Macbook Pro, I realized that the laptop compartment of several of my gearbags was too short in length to accommodate my new machine.
