When I was a kid, I was given an elephant hair bracelet. I was told that the bracelet was supposed to protect against harm, sickness and bad luck. Who knows if it was true or not, but I have always felt that I was pretty lucky – so maybe there was something to it. The […]

I have become rather spoiled by the number of wireless headphone
reviews I’ve been doing lately, as not having a cable connecting my
headset to my iPod is definitely a convenience I have learned to
enjoy. Just like every other new convenience there are good and bad
points to explore however, and whether or not this type solution
will appeal to everyone remains to be seen…

Tonight I had a strange experience with Linked In, the web-based networking tool. But before I tell my story, let me give you some background first… Back in 2004, I was sent an invitation to join a contact’s network. I joined “just to be nice” more than anything, and for the longest time my inviter

It’s such a cliché, but lately it does seem like time is just flying by. 2006
is already half gone, so it has been almost two years since I reviewed the
Pimp Star Performer Watch, the timepiece from the company with the NSFW*
name. The Star Performer was notable for its flashy LED display extravaganza;
but true LED aficionados probably felt that having numbers and symbols on the
watch’s face was sacrilegious.

I recently received some rather interesting accessories from GreenBulb. The first item is the itty bitty SS Mirror that can be placed on a digital camera, PDA, cell phone, really anywhere that the user wants a discreet looking-glass for checking her makeup or smile. My PPC-6700 came with one of these built in. I think

I think that many HTC Apache owners would agree that they use their PDA Phone without a headset more often than not. Even though the 6700 is a little brick, it can comfortably be held to the face when talking without making its owner look like a complete tool. For that reason alone, I think

The new swissbit Victorinox SWISSMEMORY 1GB s.beat Digital Audio Player recently arrived, and it is now parked in my queue with a planned review date of June 13. Included in the box was the most amazing USB adapter I have ever seen…truly. On the top of the adapter is the USB plug for charging the

Update: Shortly after this review went live, Mack Lipkin M.D., an NYU professor and the Director of the Division of Primary Care in the Department of Medicine at NYU, was kind enough to write me. I am honored that someone with his credentials actually reads my reviews, and I am grateful that he took the
As is the way with most electronic items, flash memory cards are getting more and more miniscule. Although the smallest ones usually come with an SD adapter, keeping one handy is not always convenient. Two of the tiniest formats available, MMC Micro and T-flash, are the special targets of the new USB Geek Q-Reader that
Right before my birthday, I got an email from Michael Hess of RoadWired saying that he was going to send me one of their brand new Skooba Skins as a present. I was offered my choice of several color combinations, and the magpie in me was immediately attracted to the silver with orange interior. I

Looking for the perfect HTC Apache case has turned into an obsession for quite a few of the device’s owners. But what is perfect for one person may be the ultimate deal-breaker for another. Some people want a case that protects every corner and surface, while others want the thinnest possible design – one that

If I had to make a choice between earbuds and a set of in-ear earphones, my choice would be the latter because I have not yet found a set of earbuds that fit me well. But for true comfort, I will probably always prefer a full headset. Think old school headphones…the classics that had donut

Even my lovely black iPod can get a little boring after looking at it day in and day out. But GelaSkins have given me a way to make everything new again… The most obvious difference between these high grade vinyl stickers and the other brand I’ve tried is that they cover almost the entire iPod,

Over the years I have reviewed quite a few FM transmitters that were compatible with just about any portable music player. But today I am going to take a look at my first FM transmitter made to complement all versions of the Apple iPod specifically. Conveniently enough, this transmitter will also work with any audio

Several months ago I bought a PPC-6700 dummy phone and sent it to Vaja so they could create a case. Today, I received two of their new HT41 classic pouches, specially made for this Windows Mobile phone. I am not sure how Vaja manages to take an idea as simple as a pouch with two

If I were looking for a casual backpack or messenger-style laptop bag, the selection would seem endless. With a budget of $100 I could have my pick of fabrics, sizes, pocket types; a near endless sea of options. But if I needed a laptop bag that would look good when I was wearing high heels
