I have a hard time finding comfortable headphones / earbuds to wear. It always seems like they make my ears hurt within minutes of putting them on. I just had the chance to try a new pair today though. The Arriva active wear headphones. These are behind the head style headphones that have a unique […]

Until our toys, gadgets and electronic thinga-majigs can be powered by magic fairy dust, we’ll continue to be slaves to batteries. I’m sure most of us have been in a situation where one of our favorite devices ran out of juice. It seems like every time this happens, a battery charger is no where to be found. What if you could remove the battery from your device, pull off one end and stick it into a USB port to charge? Sounds farfetched doesn’t it? Well guess again, because Moixa Energy is bringing you the USBCell.

When I returned home from CES, I found quite a few packages waiting for me. One of them was a White 13″ Macbook Hardcase from Rhinoskin. Since I don’t own the 13″ Macbook, I’m offering to send this $60 case to one of you! All you need to do is to agree to write a
I got back home last night. Yay! Vegas is fun, but there’s no place like home ;o) Now I just have to catch up on all the stuff I let slip while I was at CES! How do I do that? I stay home an extra day from my day job of course. Hey, I

My 750v is really getting on my nerves. If you remember (and read yesterday’s report…), I’ve been having a few issues with it this trip. Well this morning the alarm I had set to wake me at 7am didn’t go off. :o[ I thought Microsoft fixed the problem with alarms not firing. If I can’t count on a smartphone to help me keep the appointments that I set, then I really don’t want to be using that particular smartphone. So, I think I’ll be looking elsewhere soon. iPhone maybe? ;o) I need something sooner than 6 months out though.

I came back to my hotel room a bit early so that I could learn about all the goodies that were announced at MacWorld. Seems there were really only two… The Apple TV (sorry, I can’t make a little apple symbol) and then the one everyone is talking about: The iPhone. I have to admit

Before we get into the report for the day, I wanted to answer a question about the gear I brought with me on the trip. I am a light packer. Probably too light. I almost always find myself wishing I had remembered to bring along X or Y.

No sooner has the wrapping paper from Santa’s presents to all good little gadgeteer boys and girls been shredded, that a new slew of goodies is unveiled for them to drool over. That’s right, it’s time for the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. I made the trip out to the mecca of all things gadgety and will be bringing you all the yummy details as the show unfolds.

I am now in Las Vegas! The flight out here wasn’t too bad except that I was in the very last row of the plane and was stuck between two very large guys. I felt like a Julie sandwich. If that wasn’t bad enough, one of the guys was a sneezer and one was a

I’m getting all my stuff together to head out to Las Vegas for CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I leave early tomorrow morning and will be there through Tuesday. I’m looking forward to discovering nifty gadgets that I may not have seen before, meeting up with friends, getting swag (you can never have too many ink

You can clip the new
iPod shuffle to your shirt, but would you rather wear your MP3 player on your wrist? Don’t really care? What if it could record audio and play video too? Do I have your interest now? Then you’ll want to read this review on the MP4 Watch from Brando.
Hi gadgeteers! I’m still digging out from under a pile of work (day job) as a result from being off last week for the holidays. Whew! I know it’s a little too late for holiday gift ideas, but I want to tell you all about a set of goodies that I received from Quirkle.com the
Happy New Year! I don’t know about all of you, but I’m so glad to see 2006 bite the dust. It was a mixed year for me. There were some very high points mixed with several extremely low points (one of which is still a mystery). Why is it that we tend to dwell on

No, not the sportscar! The Ferrari laptop from Acer ;o) A couple of weeks ago I received an email from a person at Microsoft asking if I would be interested in checking out Windows Vista running on Acer’s Ferrari 1000 laptop. I had actually received a release candidate CD of Vista while attending this year’s

I don’t think I am wrong when I make the claim that the Apple iPod has generated more accessories than any other electronic device on the market today. There’s always room for one more iPod accessory right? Today I’m going to review the iHome iH5. This is a clock radio compatible with all iPods that have a docking connector. Hey, you you don’t even need an iPod to use this device. It’s a lot more fun if you do though.

Charlie Samo of Chula Vista, CA wrote me this morning to let me know that he received the iPod Shuffle that I recently gave away. Unfortunately, he didn’t receive it before Christmas, but he does look happy in the picture that he attached. Enjoy your tunes Charlie! Hey, is that a HoMedic’s QUAD-Roller on your
The fine folks at Speck Products have sent me 4 of their new Zune cases to review. Guess what? I don’t own a Zune. :o) As a result, I’m offering these cases to someone that will agree to review them for me. This person needs to have a Zune (duh!) and a digital camera capable

I just woke up from a 3.5hr nap (gotta love holiday weekends!) and found an email in my inbox with a link to a new Microsoft site that is taking a different approach to publicizing Windows Mobile. It’s pretty cute. Take a look: http://www.workwherever.com.

Last night’s review of the MAJESTYK watch marked my 100th review for 2006. Not just 100 reviews posted to the site, but 100 reviews that I have personally written or co-written. I just wanted to share because that is the most reviews that I’ve ever completed in one year’s time. :o) I also wanted to
