The Treo saga is never ending… I managed to sell it to someone who has a Verizon account, and is intelligent enough to realize it’s not a Sprint Treo. But guess what, Verizon won’t activate it. They say the ESN# can’t be found. The phone has a Verizon signal and you can hear Darth Vadar […]

I finally sold the hacked Treo 650! It is currently winging its way to NYC as I type this. I was actually sorry to box it up as I’ve been using it as just a PDA for the past couple of weeks. Now I’m back to using the Dell X50v Pocket PC again along with

I haven’t had the Apple iPod nano all that long, but have already had the chance to test out several cases for it, including a silicon and aluminum case. This will be my first review of leather cases for the nano though. The folks at PDAir sent me their version 1 leather flip and sleeve

It’s the sound that most of us dread to hear. That bleep bleeep bleeeeeep that jars us out of our peaceful dreaming slumber into the stark reality that is school, our job, etc. It’s a resolute individual who can bound out of bed to face the new day without cursing the alarm and pressing the

Help, is there a shaman in the house?! I have somehow offended the powers of Palm and now I seem to have a Treo 650 curse on my head. You think I’m crazy? I think not! Just listen to my tale of woe and you’ll see what I mean. If anything, the pathos will definitely

I love my Apple iPod nano because it’s teeny tiny and sexy. Problem is, it scratches if you even look at it cross eyed. Mine developed light scratches all over the face within the first day of light use. :o( Since Apple failed to include a case of any kind with the player, I resorted

The Brando Apple iPod nano case / skin / protector is extremely similar to the Pivot iPod nano case already reviewed here.

Just found an interesting little doodad in my mailbox today. The Earbud Clip from PKOH NYC. Basically it is a Lexan polycarbonate clip that allows you to easily secure your earbud cord around your audio device. Comes in a set of 4 for $9.95. — I’m hoping my Cingular Treo 650 will be delivered today.

Judie just recently reviewed the Milan leather jacket from SCOTTeVEST. This is a very nice update to their Version 3.0 Limited Edition Leather Jacket that I reviewed 2 years ago. It’s very nice, but also VERY expensive. What’s a gadgeteer to do when they really want a leather SCOTTeVEST jacket, but don’t quite have the

Now for another episode in “Julie’s Search for a Smartphone”… The Nokia 6682 isn’t for me. Yeah it’s a great phone with lots of features, but using it as both my phone *and* PDA lacks a lot of oomph. So, I just bought a used Treo 650 (GSM) from eBay. While the Treo doesn’t totally

If you have purchased an Apple iPod nano, you know that it is almost impossible to avoid scratching this digital audio player. I speak from experience, as after having mine for only one day, the clear plastic layer covering the display had scuffs and the chrome back plate had thin scratches all over it. Being

There is no doubt that the Sony PlayStation Portable is a very sexy device. It takes a strong willed geek who can resist the charms of this smooth, shiny, black handheld gaming siren. I’m definitely not one of the strong ones. I’m weak… very very weak… But you know the one thing that would make

The iPod shuffle is Apple’s only audio player that has been designed to withstand day to day abuse that average people can deal out. The shuffle doesn’t have a display to scratch, or chrome to mar. It is made of rugged plastic that can withstand multiple drops, flings and tosses. Unlike the full sized iPods,
