A few months ago, I reviewed case-mate’s Walkabout premium leather slipper case for the iPad. It was a very nice leather slipper case that provided good protection during travels but not during use. My biggest worry with my iPad is not bad things happening during transit but while in use or sitting around the house. […]

With modern day life as hectic as it is, I find myself looking for ways to keep myself better organized, less forgetful, and more productive. When I was younger and life was simpler, I was able to mentally keep track of all the things/stuff I needed to get accomplished. But with more responsibility and old

New smart-devices are coming to market almost daily, many without physical keyboards. Manufactures have begun creating handheld sized or folding Bluetooth keyboards to help expedite text input. I travel a great deal and love to walk through the various airports observing what the huge variety of tech people have and how they use it. I

I have had the opportunity to try many high-end headphones and earbuds over the years; from the Bose QuietComfort 2/3 headphones to Future Sonics’ atrio m5 professional earphones. I have become increasingly finicky and judgmental about which earbuds I use to listen to my music. My current favorites are the Etymotic Research hf5 High-Fidelity earphones;

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein theorized light could be organized and intensified to emit ‘an avalanche’ of same-wavelength light. It was this theory that eventually led Theodore Maiman, back in 1960, to create the first laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation). Being a child in the 70’s, Sci-Fi shows

I do love cases from Vaja…. Without a doubt, walking away; I am a definite FanBoy. Its their nearly unmatched craftsmanship, premium leathers, unique designs, I could go on & on. Vaja’s i-volution Top SP Blackberry Storm 2 case is no different. I know I am gushing a bit, but for those of you who

It has been more than 20 years since I have regularly carried a backpack (college to be exact). It was a ratty (at least by the time I got done with it) old JanSport with mediocre construction, little comfort, and zero accommodations for tech-stuff, being the 80’s and all ;). Jumping to present day, today’s

With Apple’s recent release of the iPad, case-mate has begun selling a half dozen cases specifically designed to protect your fancy new device. They range the spectrum in type and design from a colorful click on plastic shell protecting the back and edges, a leather and felt folio, a hardened rubber form-fitted case, to several

I have been using screen protectors since the days of the Palm V. Back when they were just a simple piece of plastic that slid under the edge of the casing. Over the course of the many years since, not only have our tech-toys improved by leaps and bounds but the protection for them has

Julie did an app review on Zinio’s digital magazine service a few years ago. At the time, I tried it for myself and read a few of their free samples/examples on my MacBook. It was an alright experience but was definitely not the same as flipping through an actual magazine. While the Touch/iPhone’s screen is

I was thinking about purchasing a label maker on and off for years. This past winter I remodeled our TV space into a media room. This included laying many wires throughout that room and the house as a whole. The entire time I wished I had a label maker (instead of a fine tipped, permanent

Many things we review here at The Gadgeteer are devices somewhere between tech-toy and tech-gadget or accessories meant to protect, carry or power those devices. All perfectly well and good, mind you….most of those (still) make my tech-geek heart a flutter. But, other than iPod speakers or noise isolation earbuds, few assist me in my

….to consider an iPad. I travel quite a bit for my day job, not as much as some but definitely more than most. Let’s face it, 99% of the time going through security is a hassle; removing your shoes, small amounts of liquids in a plastic bag, no water bottles, laptop out of your bag

Unlike Julie, I live in an area with six Apple Store all within 15-20 miles of my house. So, instead of having my iPad delivered, I chose to embrace the hype and pick my iPad up at a brick & mortar store. Fortunately, unlike NYC, the line to pick up my iPad did not stretch
Last week Janet let us all know that Vaja was going to be making a slipper case (Retro Slim Jacket) for Apple’s iPad. Today, they have announce/pictured 5 additional cases that appear to be up to their usual, very stylish and form-fitting standards. Looks like they have designed a book, 3 ivolution styles (standard, SP,

Amazon has the Plantronics 925 (white, cerise, and gold) for $39. I reviewed this bluetooth headset back in 2008 and still use it today. From a call-quality and comfort point of view, the Plantronics 925 is just as good as their most recent model, the 975 at a fraction of the cost.

This AM, Engadget posted a leaked picture of an Australian ad of Apple’s (hopefully soon to be released) MacBook Air, Pros and Mac Pros. If the ad is real, it appears that Apple is increasing their pricing. Personally, I will be very disappointed if the new MBAir really is $2.4k and the rest of the

Our family does a fair amount of camping during the year, nothing steep and deep, but out in the sticks none the less. Camping, my Air Force survival training, being a diehard MythBuster fan, etc., I try to be prepared for nearly any circumstance. That being said, EXOTAC has several products that not only adds

First off, I REALLY love Saddleback Leather Company‘s motto of ‘They’ll fight over it when you’re dead’. That is saying something in today’s disposable society; where electronics are engineered to last a few years before their battery dies, motherboard fries, or they simply self destruct. Saddleback believes their products are so well made they guarantee

Comcast has once again raised our monthly HD Triple Play pricing this past month. We have had Comcast for years now and like clockwork, they raise our monthly bill annually. Once our year agreement is over, they immediately bump it up a significant amount. Until now, I would call and gripe about the increase and
