When you listen to music, your listening experience will only be as good as the earphones or speakers that you have connected to your audio device. We’ve all owned junky earbuds and crummy little speaker systems that have static or bland sound. After awhile you get used to a mediocre experience, which is too bad […]

My first Bluetooth headset review was of Bluetake’s BT400 G5 Bluetooth headset. Like most products, there were things I liked, and things I didn’t. But now that I have a little experience with headsets, I’m ready to do review #2. This time I’ll be looking at Gennum’s nXZEN 5500 Plus Bluetooth headset. Wow, that was

I’ve been trying out two different PalmOS software titles from a company called ShSh Software. The first one is 2day. This application is an excellent do everything “today” style application. In addition to displaying your upcoming appointments and tasks, this app can also be used as launcher and will display the status of your Emails,

And now for another episode of “It’s A Small World”. About 2 years ago Taire Avbovbo wrote a couple iPod mini case reviews for the site. Two weeks ago I received an email from him saying that he had been to the Cummins Tech Center (where I happen to work) and was working in the

Are you the type of gadget nut that goes completely over the top by customizing your PDAs, mobile phones or handheld game machines with 3rd party replacement buttons, antennas, shells, etc? I used to get into that sort of thing way back in the day… I remember lusting after and finally receiving a red aluminum

I’ve recently become interested in Bluetooth headsets. Why? Two reasons mainly. The first reason is that my phone of choice right now is the Treo 650. It’s not the most svelte of phones… Being able to keep the phone in my bag or pocket, while holding a conversation is preferred to holding it in my

Brando sent me a product that doesn’t quite fit into what we typically review here on The Gadgeteer. But, being the good sport that I am, I thought I’d give it a try anyway. The Stretching Hula Hoop is sort of a cross between a Slinky and an old school hula hoop from the late

Weekend Grab Bag (Updated as the weekend progresses…) Justin Blanton has created a page that expains how to use your Windows Mobile Smartphone as a Bluetooth modem under Mac OS X. This is something I’ve not yet tried to do with my Treo 650. Anyone out there with a Treo and a Powerbook tried something

Are you the type of guy (or even a gal for that matter…) that carries an over stuffed wallet in their pocket (or purse)? Do you cram your wallet full of receipts, money, business cards, credit cards, scraps of paper, etc? If you answered YES to either of these questions, then it just might be
Is it just me, or does there seem to be some excitement in the air these days? Maybe it’s just that my Winter blahs are fading as Spring time approaches. Or maybe it’s all these gadget teasers that seem to be popping up and taunting me with their promises of something cool and drool worthy.

Rhinoskin has long been known for their rugged PDA cases. Back in the day, you weren’t a ‘real’ gadgeteer unless you had a Rhinoskin Titanium case for your PDA. These days, Rhinoskin sells protective cases for all types of small electronics. Sorry, no Titanium as far as I can tell, but how about a combo

A couple months ago, I was been bitten by the video bug when I started watching Josh Leo’s Vlog. This guy makes some really great videos and they inspired me to try my hand at doing the same thing. Well, not really the same thing, because I didn’t start an actual Vlog. When I get

For the past couple of months, I’ve been using a combination of a mobile phone and a PDA instead of just my Treo 650 smartphone. First I used the Sony w600i, then the Motorola Pebl, then back to the Sony and now I’m back to the Treo. I love a lot of things about the

We should know, here at The Gadgeteer, we’ve reviewed almost every product they’ve put on the market. But now there’s a new kid on the block: Kenpo of Los Angeles,

Last week I reviewed the iFish and this week I’m taking a look at another silly, but fun little gadget from Brando’s toy shop. This time around it is the Potan Poton from Tomy. I was told that the name refers to the sound that water makes when it drips. While that reference won’t be
Weekend Hodge Podge Amit and David of Aural New York sent me 2 sets of their colored iPod earbuds. They are available in Pink, Black and Blue and come with both Black and White earbud pads. They look (except for the color) and sound just like stock iPod earbuds. Priced at $15, they let you

Portable speakers made especially for the Apple iPod digital audio player are available in a veritable cornucopia of sizes, shapes and prices. For example, I’ve personally reviewed JBL’s On Tour speakers and Brando’s iPod audio system. Both provide good sound for a decent price, but I think I’ve found the ultimate speaker system for the

And now for a review of a product that is both wacky and different. The iFish from Sega Toys, the same people that brought us the iDog. I wasn’t too sure what I would have to say about this combination speaker and robot pet thingy when Brando asked if I would review it, but I
You’ve really got to love Indiana weather. Just yesterday, it was 50 degrees and sunny. Then this morning, I wake up to 28 degrees and a couple of inches or so of snow on the ground. I’ll admit that it was very pretty to look at. At least from inside a warm house. I think
