I’m happy to report that The Gadgeteer was successfully moved to its new server early this morning. The main issue that people might still run into is if they try to post in the forums. Until the various nameservers all over the internets have been updated, you may hit the forums on the old server.
Remaining Issues After Server Move Read More
This is just a heads up that The Gadgeteer is in the process of moving to its very own server. No more sharing with other sites like we have been for years and years. What does this mean to all of you? Well hopefully better performance, and stability! :o) Keep me posted if you notice

Last Spring, I had the opportunity to review the MV-5000U Multimedia Player from Mvix. Except for a couple issues like a noisy fan and no networking features, I really liked this device. It is one year later and we now have the MX-760HD. This unit addresses all of the complaints that I had with the first generation device and goes even further to add a few major enhancements.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I won’t be buying an AppleTV for my own personal use. I may still buy one at some point to review if people keep asking me, but right now, here are the 5 reasons why I don’t want one… 1. I already have an MVIXUSA MX-760HD wireless media center.

I’ve been playing around with the Blackberry Pearl that I received yesterday. It has a slick interface (once you get used to the little track ball navigation method) that is growing on me. But here’s the thing that has me a bit peeved. I think I have to pay extra to use the data features.

If you’re looking for a Bluetooth headset that is both small and fashionable, then Argard’s M10 headset might be one you should consider taking a closer look at. Smaller in diameter than a quarter, this little headset looks really cool. But how well does it perform? Keep reading…

I’m home from work today, feeling crummy… It’s no fun feeling yucky when it’s a pretty Spring (almost Spring) day outside and you’re stuck inside. I guess being home isn’t all bad though as it seems that the gadget deities decided to take pity on me. I have been visited by both Fedex and DHL

Are you in the market for a goofy gift for a friend at the office or a geeky kid? Or would you just like to decorate your own computer space with something a little offbeat? If you answered YES to either of these questions, then take a look at a new line of LED lights called Moppels.

Do you keep a daily diary or journal? If you do, is it paper, PDA or computer based? I have several diaries from when I was a kid. Little hardbound ‘blank’ books as they used to call them. I found a couple the other day when I was looking for a book on one of

This week I’ve been using the Nokia 6131 that I purchased last summer. This is a quad band GSM phone that I believe was originally available in Europe and then was released here in the US as the 6126 (I’m pretty sure these two phones are the same model, please correct me if I am

I have reviewed several different iPod docking stations that allow you to connect your 4G or 5G iPod to your TV or stereo. These docks typically ship with a small remote so that you can adjust volume and move forwards and backwards through tracks and content while you are sitting on your couch. I’ve almost always run into the problem where I would like to navigate to a specific song and to do so, it requires me to get up and walk over to the iPod so that I can see the display / menus. Thanks to the folks at Keyspan, that will no longer be necessary.

I’m happy to announce that Ron Reifsnider has been chosen as the winner of the i-mate JAQ3! Congrats Ron. Thanks to everyone that posted for a chance to win this phone. I enjoyed reading all your posts. They actually gave me inspiration for things to do with my own gadgets. :o) — Here’s a reminder
Over the years, we have reviewed quite a few laptop stands and laptop desks. Most of these products have been constructed of metal, plastic or a combination of both. I think today’s review of the LapDawg will be the first wooden laptop stand / desk that I’ve reviewed.

Earlier this week for my day job (Cummins Inc.), I had to give a presentation of an application called WinBatch to a group of people from China. WinBatch is a simple macro language for Windows computers. It allows you to write automated programs that mimic a user sitting at a keyboard using any application. At

We all know or remember seeing someone at one time or another that has worn a medical alert ID bracelet or necklace. I think I vaguely recall my Dad buying one for my Mom when she was first diagnosed with Diabetes. These days you don’t really see people wearing this method of medical identification. I don’t know if they are
just considered old fashioned or if the companies that make them have stopped promoting them. That’s why I was
intrigued when the folks at CWI Medical asked me if I would review the MedicTag.
Here we go with phone give-away #2. This time it’s the i-mate JAQ3. This is a brand new unlocked quad band GSM phone with the original box and all the included goodies. I used this phone for a few days and decided that it wasn’t for me. But maybe it’s for you… If you want

I stood in line at the post office this afternoon to ship the Sony Ericsson w810i phone off to Isreal to the winner of last week’s give away. My Treo 750v helped me kill the 30 minutes or so that I had to wait till my turn at the counter. At the moment, I’m hooked

And now for a review that isn’t quite a gadget, but since a lot of gadgeteers might be able to use it, I thought what the heck. First of all, how many of you have a counter top or cabinet crammed full of snack bags that require clips to keep them closed and their contents fresh? If you’re anything like me, you have more packages then clips and have to resort to double clipping or using weird items as clip substitutes.
I just had my best bud help me choose a random winner for the Sony Ericsson w810i phone give-away. The winner is Shimon Shnitzer of ShSh Software fame (Wow, I wonder if that means he’ll give me free apps for the rest of my life? Just kidding). Congrats Shimon! For everyone else that tried, don’t
