Regular readers may notice that Judie and I tend to write about more than just gadgets and technology when we visit trade shows. We enjoy sharing information about our accommodations, interesting people that we meet, the places we visit and of course the food we eat. Sometimes readers have complained that our trip reports read […]

Judie’s comments are in Black, Julie’s are in Blue and italicized. After such a lame tradeshow experience at TECHXNY / PC Expo, Julie and I were really looking forward to returning to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The last time we attended, in 2002, we were both quite impressed with not only

Like many groups of electronics enthusiasts, audiophiles can be very opinionated about their hobby. When asking such a person to give you advice on the best audio equipment, you may get more information than you bargained for if you aren’t an audiophile yourself. Me, I’m a music lover. But, I do not pretend to be

While at CES, Judie and I met up with Lisa Gade of PDA Buyer’s Guide.com, and I got a chance to test drive her Toshiba e805 Pocket PC. The 4 inch screen in 480×640 VGA mode totally made me drool. I had hesitated to purchase one because I thought it might be too large. I

Hi folks, we’re baaaack from CES! Wow, according to those in the know, this was the largest Consumer Electronics Show to date. Judie and I are in definite agreement with that fact, given that we had to fight the throngs of people for the past two days. My feet still hurt from all the walking

Judie and I will be heading off to Las Vegas on Wednesday to attend the Consumer Electronics Show. We can’t wait to report back about all the cool gadgets and gizmos that we run across while we are there. At least we hope we’ll run across some! I have a good feeling that CES will

Product Requirements: Device: 3rd generation Apple iPods I’m going to go out on a limb and say that all iPod owners have one thing in common; they want to protect their device from unsightly scratches and noticeable wear. I think we all know that the number one way to protect an iPod, is with a

I hope that Santa was good to all of you! I must not have been a very good Gadgeteer this year, because he brought me a wonderful head cold as a gift. Which explains why I’m up at 3:00am… Since I can’t sleep, I thought I’d check out a couple Pocket PC games that Clickgamer

The events of October 27th, 2003 still remain fresh in my mind. The day started out innocently enough, but then ended in tragedy, while I was writing a review of an iPod case. The case was not compatible with my 30gb model, and required that I use scissors to extract it <queue Psycho shower scene

I’ve been enjoying my first big screen TV for 5 days now. All I can say is WOW! When the guys first brought it into my basement living room, I was very worried that I had picked a set that was way too big for the space. But after moving the Lazy Boy recliners back

Product Requirements: Device: Windows PC, MAC The lowly computer mouse is an often overlooked PC peripheral. Quite often, users will buy a new input device only when their current one has become defective. This is surprising considering the fact that we use the mouse much more than other add-on hardware. If you’ve ever needed to

Product Requirements: Device: Windows 98, 2000, ME or XP Early this year, I reviewed JetAudio’s iAudio CW200 MP3 Player. I found it to be a great small form factor player, that had enough extra features to overshadow the fact that it was not expandable (no memory card slot) and could not play WMA files. JetAudio’s

When these symbols are seen

Santa is making his scheduled appearance at this Gadgeteer’s house early this season. This past weekend I finally got the nerve to replace my ancient 27″ (no S-Video) Magnavox TV with the Mitsubishi 65″ rear projection TV. I also sprung for an HDTV tuner for my DirecTV and the local networks (Indianapolis) that are now
