Remember my iFish review? I’m amazed that the video in that particular review continues to be one of the most viewed videos on this site. If you are a fan of novelty toys like the iFish, you should enjoy this review of Sega Toys latest offering: the idog mini. My friends at AudioCubes.com recently sent me the Blue version of this plastic dog.
Accessories for the 2nd gen iPod shuffle are starting to trickle in. I actually received something today in the mail from Rhinoskin that I want to tell you all about. They are called iPod Shuffle Accents and come in packs of 4 for $19.95. Each Accent is a small neoprene lined 100% anodized aluminum shell.

I had another “this is why I love my PDA” moments today… I had a doctor’s appointment to get a cortizone shot in my shoulder. Shots don’t usually bother me, but just the thoughts of having one in a joint was making me a bit nervous. Lucky for me, my hour wait to get into
Happy Monday gadgeteers! :o) I need some car stereo advice. I want to replace the stock head unit in my 2006 Mazda 3 and don’t know which way to turn. I don’t care about DVD or navigation features, but the top of my wish list includes iPod integration and XM radio capability. A USB port
Step right up folks, it’s the incredible shrinking iPod! The new Apple iPod shuffle makes their first generation shuffle look absolutely huge in comparison. Their slogan of “Put some music on” is fitting as this new shuffle has a built-in clip that you can use to fasten to your shirt, coat, gear bag, jeans, etc. Is this the end all be all mini DAP (digital audio player)? Let me tell you more about it and we can decide.

My Treo 750v received a package today. :o) Vaja sent a Red and Black iVolution leather case to match the Red and Black leather messenger bag that I reviewed not long ago. They also included a Rivet system clip to attach to the bag. Check out the pics… The case is very similar to the

What criteria do you use when buying a wrist watch? Form over function, or function over form? If you are just in the market for a cheap time piece, Walmart always has a stash of plastic novelty watches for around $5. But if price isn’t a motivator and you want people to notice you, then you are probably the perfect customer for Tokyoflash. Located in Japan, this store has a unique variety of watches that entertain while also reporting the current time.

I just found a Cingular branded Treo 680 on my front porch (It’s 11pm here). I had been expecting one to be delivered all day, but the FedEx person never arrived. Or so I thought… Evidently they did at one point during the afternoon / evening and didn’t bother to ring the doorbell. Grrrr. Anyway,
A good flashlight for the ordinary person is like most tools, only appreciated when needed. If you’re anything like me, you probably don’t use a flashlight every day. Or even once a week. But when the need arrises, you’re always happy to have a reliable one at hand. I’m happy to tell you about the TM-303X; a small robust little light from Nuwai, which is available in Black and Titanium finishes.

When I reviewed PLANon’s DocuPen R700 portable scanner almost one year ago, I immediately realized how handy this device could be to a wide variety of people. Having a full page scanner that can easily stow in a gear bag was quite liberating. The only problem with the R700, was the fact that it scanned only in Black and White, and didn’t really do that great of a job. Luckily, PLANon, didn’t stop with the R700. They now have the RC800, which can scan in full 24bit color.

There seem to be a blue million different earbuds, earphones, and headphones on the market these days. There are full sized phones that cover your ears, headphones that wrap behind your head, earbuds that fit outside the ear canal and ones that fit down inside your ear canal to isolate you from outside noises and distractions. This last style is one that I’ll be looking at today. The V-Moda Bass Fréq earbuds boost that they deliver superior bass response for a price that won’t make you cringe.

One of my favorite computer games that I had on my Commodore 64 was called Little Computer People by Activision. Think of it as The SIMs, but just with one person and really really simple. Back in the day it was a lot of fun to just watch the little person walking around his house doing all sorts of activities. That game was on the market about 20 years ago. These days you don’t need a computer to have your own little computer person on your desk. You just need a cube.
Flash card readers come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Today I’m going to tell you about the 51 in 1 USB Slim Card Reader that was sent to me by Brando. The ability to read 51 different card formats really sounds impressive doesn’t it? Well, things are not always what they appear to be…

I hope that all of our US readers will have a great time tomorrow visiting with friends and relatives and eating way too much turkey and pumpkin pie! I’ll be attending 2 family get togethers, so I will be waddling around by the end of the night ;o) Don’t forget to come back to the
My favorite part of the day is when I come home from work, park at the end of my road, get out of my car and go see what is in the mailbox. I’ve been a postal junkie since I was a kid. I remember racing my sister to the end of our driveway so
I returned the Zune and Everex laptop to Walmart today. It’s been awhile since I’d purchased electronics from them and had to return something, so I wasn’t too surprised when they had to call up someone from that department to come to the service area to check things out. I figured it was for the
Remember this past Spring when I reviewed the QUAD-Roller Massaging Cushion from HoMedics? Now this mostly home health product maker has branched out to create a home entertainment product. The iCush, is a what HoMedics describes as a immersive audio sync seat. Translated into plain gadgeteer speak, it’s a cushion that automatically vibrates to sound input, and has built in speakers.

Well, it appears that my Zune has a defect. I set it up this morning and copied over about 20-30 folders full of .MP3 files. Syncing appeared to work as expected (although a bit slow), but when I went to listen to the music in my car at lunch, all the songs skipped like they

I went ahead and picked up a Zune last night along with a cheapo Everex laptop at my good old Super Walmart store. I opted for the White version because to me the Black one is boring and the Brown one looks… well… I’m not going to say it… ;o) So far I’ve only managed
