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

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,

Wow, my Friday just got a little better. I found out that we are part of CNET’s News.com’s Blog 100. I wouldn’t have even known about it, but happen to see The Gadgeteer mentioned on a list on Geek.com’s site. Another reason why this Friday is good a particularly good one is that I’m on

I’m beginning to anticipate an ending to my ultimate gear bag quest! I’ve realized that the style of bag that works best for me is the messenger style. I never thought this would be the case, but since the Timbuk2 review, I’ve found it to be true. Now I’m on the hunt for the best

Those of you that use the search feature on the site, will be happy to learn that we’ve been working on it to make it actually search. ;o) It didn’t work very well at all, but now it is 100% in my opinion. We have a lot more to do to it, but right now,

See my review of Apple’s 2ng generation nano here. 09/20/07 Please also read my review of Apple’s 3rd generation iPod nano fatty. It’s no secret that I am a card carrying member of Apple’s cult of iPod. Although it took me awhile to become inducted (my first iPod was a 3rd generation model), once I
I picked up the Nokia 6682 from the post office this morning. No butt pictures on this one… No, I was not disappointed ;o) This phone is not as tiny as I would like, but the screen is big, bright and easy to read. The signal strength appears to be strong like I’ve come to

If you’re an extreme type of person, then you need an extreme type of case to protect your toys while you’re out doing extreme things. There’s nothing worse than getting dirt or sweat on your mp3 player while you’re out doing motor cross in the mud. Not that I’ve ever taken my Apple iPod shuffle

Ok, the AudioVox SMT5600 didn’t work out… Cool phone, nice screen, nice size, but lousey reception in my area. My cheapy Nokia still is way better. Sooooooo, it’s going back to the eBay seller, and I just went nuts and got a Nokia 6682 from eBay. If this one doesn’t work out for me, I’m
