This is a tie – but maybe leaning a tad more towards reviews.

1. Less promo of items you haven’t actually tested yourselves (CF suggestions are okay)
2. I like the reviews to hear how things actually work via reliable reviewers.

How can I make The Gadgeteer better for YOU?
I really like the everyday carry stuff and the travel based reviews. So I guess go on vacation more?
Which do you enjoy reading most? News or reviews?
Reviews – especially ones that provide the links to comparable products and reviews – yes, I am lazy

Home automation and IoT stuff, more prosumer wifi, drones and camera, smart speaker ecosystem, EDC stuff (more of it from more people?), organization methods, note taking
1. More pictures on the reviews.
2. Reviews
3. More EDC stuff.
How can I make The Gadgeteer better for YOU?
Feature a “throwback” type of review. Maybe post an old review, and put a new twist on it. If you were reviewing a Palm IIIC today, what would you look for?
Which do you enjoy reading most? News or reviews?
News items.
What should we write about next?
The demise of tablets.
How can I make The Gadgeteer better for YOU?

Both as the particular topic interests me.
What should we write about next?
Phone that are 1 or 2 generations old, and still good devices, things to do to refresh those old devices.
I subscribed (I think I was a subscriber previously)
How can I make The Gadgeteer better for YOU?
I really appreciated the note of “review” or “news” in the article banner. I’d suggest every news article should have a bit about why it’s important, innovative, or worth my time- not just it exists.
Which do you enjoy reading most? News or reviews?
I prefer the reviews, because if I’m interested enough to read, I’m likely interested enough to buy. I trust your reviews more than the ones submitted by bots on sites.
What should we write about next?
There are some great competitively priced products out there, and I’d like to hear about ones you have found that fill in for the uber-luxurious ones we sometimes hear about. I love great headphones, but $900?! I love awesome organized bags, but I’m not likely to spend $400. What have you found that is great, and filled these voids for less? Thanks!
1. How can I make The Gadgeteer better for YOU?
-Feature gadgets that work well for women who want to carry them in a small purse, wristlet, or in a pocket of a comfy dress.
2. Which do you enjoy reading most? News or reviews?
-Both as they are always informative!
3. What should we write about next?
-Gadgets you’ve purchased that were a waste of money because you never maximized the use of them. I mean, who wants to waste money?
Or, write about gadgets you found you purchased more than one of because they were so great!

How can I make The Gadgeteer better for YOU?
I love it the way it is now. I learn of new gadgets not discussed in any of the other sources I read.

Both! The news is not just a rehash of a vendors press release and the reviews come with the assurance that someone has actually tried to use the product.
What should we write about next?
Keep covering tools that assist me in my constantly mobile office environment. Thanks.

I would really like a standardised format for reviews. Some reviews really suck while some like yours really draw me in when I read them. Please set a house style like media houses do.
Which do you enjoy reading most? News or reviews?
I really cant tell the difference. I thought we only got reviews here.
What should we write about next?
I think you have covered most of my interests and still do. I would love to see more of the readers, writing devices and media viewing devices. Like, I would love to know, what is happening in video streaming devices currently? Since everybody is leaving Netflix, is there one device I can buy so that I can have several services like disney, amazon and netflix on the same device? I force my fire hd 8 to do netflix. Is there a better device for this? Can the chrome wachamacallit do this? can it buffer several gigs of episodes so I can watch them later?
1. Keep up with the reviews. They are informative and i have purchased some of the items you havenreviewed.
2. Reviews
3. STEM items for youth.
