Product Requirements: Any of the PDAs, Cell Phones or Digital Cameras listed here Most of you know by now that my favorite protectors are the ultra clear ones – the type that look and feel like a naked PDA’s screen when installed. One of Julie’s and my favorite vendors, Brando Workshop, has recently come out […]

I just got an email from Alex, with Slappa – makers of the multimedia storage products I recently reviewed. He said to let you all know that if you order from their site you can enjoy a 10% discount (until the end of June) by entering the code “gadgeteer.” If you have been looking for

While I have always preferred keeping my CDs in their jewel cases, there are times when it can be completely impractical. For instance, when I am in the ranch truck. Since I haven’t sprung for Sirius Satellite Radio in this vehicle, while riding along I instead get to play DJ – switching out CDs as

It’s the end of an era…Since Sony has announced that they will no longer be making PDAs for the US market, and since I do not presently even own a CLIE, I have regretfully listed my 1GB Memory Stick on eBay. You know, even though my TH55 was such a lame experience with Sony’s customer

Games like this make me almost wish that I had a Pocket PC again…PDAMill has released their alpha version 0.2 demo for Flux Challenge, their upcoming 3D racing game. According to their site: “This unique racer revolves around a world of magnetic-levitation tunnels. While originally designed for mass transportation, it soon spawned many underground ship-racing

Julie has been here since Saturday and we have been having a great time! We climbed to the top of the mountain behind the Indian Lodge in Ft. Davis, trekked through the Limpia Creek Primitive Area, and last night we arrived at my family’s ranch where she saw her first rattlesnake. Yikes! We’ve been taking

Product Requirements: A computer running Win98SE/2000/ME/XP/Mac OS 8.6 or higher Some days it can seem as if there is a conspiracy being perpetrated against the consumer by all of the digital camera, mobile phone and PDA manufacturers. How so? As each new device comes out, there seems to be a new type of flash media

I just made the switch form Verizon DSL to Cox Cable…and now I am wondering why I waited so long! Using Verizon was truly becoming an ordeal, but it was still better than dial-up – but just barely! For instance, it got to where I would have to reset the DSL modem up to six

Remember that time I was trying to sell an iPAQ on eBay (09/02/03 & 09/10/03 entries), and I almost got royally scammed by a nogoodnik? I sure wish I had been clever enough to try something like this…classic! ;0)

Julie is right, things have been quiet in our gear diaries. Here’s my reason: Steve’s parents and his cousin Amy came in from Florida, so we spent a little bit of time at the ranch and then went to Fort Davis. Julie and I will be going to both places again when she comes here

This is how my winter mornings usually seem to go, and I would be willing to bet bet that yours are somewhat similar: The alarm goes off way too early and I have to climb out of my supremely warm and cozy bed. As my feet hit the cold hardwood floor and the icy bedroom

Anytime Julie or I get a new PDA, we immediately begin the search for accessories that will enhance its use. Not long after I ordered the Sony TH55, we received an email from JavoEdge about their range of products. Thinking of my upcoming 4Corners trip, I knew it would be much more convenient to have

It’s a good thing that the official version of Fish Tycoon by LDW Software has finally been announced and released. I was one of the beta testers, and I have got to tell you that I was getting pretty frustrated with it. Why? Because it seemed like every time that I would advance – earning

Product Requirements: Any PDA listed here As I have previously mentioned on numerous occasions, I prefer to use a screen protector that is extremely clear and has a glass like writing surface. To date, I have only found two that offered what I felt was the best in class – the G2 (a non-adhesive protector)

Product Requirements: Any PDA listed here It would appear that the sticky adhesive screen protectors of yesterday, the ones that had to be changed every month (if not earlier) and left a tacky residue when removed, are finally going the way of the dinosaur – and that is a very good thing. Nowadays, all screen

It took me long enough…!The reason why I did not post a review tonight is because I spent literally all day shrinking over 1000 digital pictures and finally writing the report covering our Spring Break trip to the Four Corners Area. Even though I managed to cut the number of included pictures to just under

When I recently decided to sell my Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom and upgrade to the C-750, it didn’t occur to me that the new camera would come with a neck strap, instead of the wrist strap I prefer to use. Once the problem was realized, I thought that swapping out the neck strap for my

The latest TH55 update: Roberto, my poor abused Sony customer service guy, the one that keeps having to call me back (and hear about how unhappy I am), called today to find out if I had received the box they are sending(I had not). Sony’s solution is to “buy back” my TH55. Roberto is sending

Product Requirements: Tapwave Zodiac1 or 2 Ever since I started using a Tapwave Zodiac2, I have wanted a case that would protect and enhance its looks. Perhaps due to the Zodiac’s curvy shape, landscape orientation, odd button placement or maybe because this PDA isn’t widely available in stores, there just haven’t been a lot of

I doubt if any of you that have been following my CLIÉ TH55 saga will be surprised when I say that I don’t think that particular review will be happening…ever. As things stand right now, I have a refurbished unit that Sony sent to replace a two week old TH55, after they had kept mine
