Are the US readers out there all ready for Thanksgiving and Black Friday? You couldn’t pay me to get out and shop the day after Thanksgiving! ;o) I might do some shopping online though ;o) What gadgets are people hoping that Santa will bring them this year? The Xbox 360? I think I beat Santa

Palm’s newest entry level PDA is the Z22. Coming in below the sweet spot of $100, this PDA gives you all of the basic PIM (Personal Information Management) features that we’ve come to expect in a personal digital assistant, while leaving the power user features for the more expensive models. Unlike Windows Mobile device manufacturers,
Last Fall Palm introduced the Tungsten | T5 model PDA. Now one year later, they have released the TX model. The T5 and the TX share quite a few similar features including the same body case size and style. That should come as good news for T5 owners looking to upgrade to the latest and
I received my unbranded unlocked GSM Treo 650 today (thanks Mike!). Good news, it works perfectly! I even upgraded the firmware. Yay! I’m super happy at the moment. Even the signal strength here in the gadget cave is good! :o) Maybe the Treo gods don’t hate me after all. I am still waiting for the

You’ve got to love a bag from a company named Bumbakpaks. Come on, it’s just fun to say. Bumbakpaks, bumbakpaks, bumbakpaks. Ok, now that I have that out of my system, I can tell you about their Urbanomic Hamptons Chocotango bag which the company refers to as a messenger bag. But to me it looks

Since reviewing the Timbuk2 Bag In A Box messenger bag, I’ve come to the conclusion that messenger bags are my gear bag style of choice these days. As such, I’ve been trying to find other brands to try out. Today I’m going to take a close look at the Citizen messenger bag from Chrome. Like

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

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

Just found an interesting little doodad in my mailbox today. The Earbud Clip from PKOH NYC.

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

Finding the most convenient way to listen to the tunes on your Apple iPod, while in your vehicle can sometimes be a daunting task. Do you lay it beside you on the seat and route the audio through your car stereo using a cassette adapter? Or maybe you use a separate FM transmitter like the
