Is there a law somewhere that says that all laptop bags have to look like laptop bags? You know what I’m talking about, they tend to be black, boring, made for men and as far away from making a fashion statement as humanly possible. I guess this is my cue to tell you that when […]
Cases.com began advertising with us about 2 weeks ago. In case you haven’t seen their skyscraper ads yet, I just wanted to point out that this site is a great place to shop for PDA, iPod and Smartphone cases and accessories. They carry Piel Frama, Covertec, Innopocket, PDair, and other brands. Right now they are

Close to 3 years ago, Michael Shulver wrote an excellent review of the large version WaterField Cargo bag. Since that review, WaterField has updated their Cargo bag to include a leather flap and choice of flap buckle. Since I am not going to re-write Michael’s review, I suggest that you go read it and then

Is it Friday yet? It’s been a LONG week for me! I’m still enjoying the ETEN. It actually came in very handy yesterday in a team mtg. I was bored out of my mind, so I logged into my MSN Messenger account and was able to chat with a friend for a few mins. Surfing

Next month (September) it will have been 4 years since my very first SCOTTeVEST product review. I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that since that first review, not a season has gone by that I haven’t worn at least one SCOTTeVEST garment at one time or another. My two favorite jackets have been the

I’m more than a little bummed this morning… I just realized that the MissingSync from MarkSpace (the 3rd party syncing tool that allows you to sync your PIM data on a Pocket PC with your Mac) does not sync Notes (Memos)! ACK! That’s probably the most important use that I have for my Pocket PC.

I ordered the ETEN M500 Pocket PC Phone Friday from Mad Monkey Boys Gadgets and it arrived bright and early Monday morning. This a cute little phone! At first I was worried about the signal strength that it was reporting, but it appears that the on screen indicator is just not very accurate. We’ll see

Here’s a nifty little gizmo for all the electric guitar players out there, who also happen to be Gadgeteers. The JamPlug FM from DVForge is a module that can turn an FM radio into a guitar amplifier. Those of you that do not have any experience with electric guitars should know that playing most solid
Happy Friday! I’m looking for some show offs. I want to expand the popular Featured Gadgeteer (Gadgeteer of the month) articles into other featured stories. I know there are those of you out there that are just dying to brag about your gear, your cool car, your favorite gear bag and its contents, how you

We sure do like our digital audio players here at The Gadgeteer. While I’m an iPod lover, Judie has yet to experience THE BEST player on the market. Sometimes I wish I’d never purchased an iPod because I’m forever disappointed when reviewing new players. Even Apple’s own spin-off has failed to give me gadget hot

Happy Monday everyone! Yeah, I know that I shouldn’t be so peppy, but the work day is half over already and I have a fun review scheduled for tonight that will hopefully be of interest. Nope, no hints… You’ll just have to check back later. — I haven’t returned the Nokia 6230 yet to my

Does it bug the bajeezus out of anyone besides myself that it seems to have become a trend for PDA manufacturers not to include a desktop cradle with their PDAs any longer? We as consumers spend hundreds of dollars on these devices only to be given a cheapo charging cable instead of a charging cradle.

PalmOne Treo 650 owners that are looking for maximum protection for their smartphone, have two hard case options right now. There’s the Aluminum Innopocket Metal Deluxe case which I reviewed not long ago, and now there is the new Magnum case from Innopocket as well. Like their HP iPAQ 4700 Magnum case which I reviewed

It’s Saturday and since it is a least 10,000 bazillion degrees outside, I’m down in my basement surfing for… GSM phones :o) Verizon is about to be history for me folks! A couple weeks ago I noticed that the Verizon tower less than .5 miles from my house had new equipment on it. It had

Judie and I have never been shy about reviewing what most people would only consider to be luxury items and frivolous accessories. Products such as Vaja’s high quality and high dollar leather PDA cases, the impressive Delta Dolcevita stylus, or the insanely spendy Alexandra Knight Taylor Tote. Well, I have another product to add to

Adding extra file storage capacity to a desktop or laptop computer used to be a task that involved a screw driver and a blood sacrifice to the computer gods. That is definitely not the case these days, as the external hard drive market is booming. Instead of digging into the inner bowels of your computer

Yesterday I made my first visit to a Mac addict’s holy place. Yes, an Apple store. The Keystone at the Crossing Apple store in Indianapolis, IN to be precise. I was able to leave the store without spending any money, but it was pretty difficult considering all the yummy products they had on display. I

I have always had a thing for itty bitty gadgets, tools and gizmos. When I was a kid, I would put little things in a zippered pouch and call it my spy kit. Not that I ever actually did any spying mind you, but I was totally prepared for it should the occasion present itself.

As Britney Spears would say (sing): oops I did it again! What did I do? I just placed an order for an Apple iMac. So this will be switch #3. They say the 3rd time is the charm, so we’ll see :o) What made me decide to take the plunge again? Well, I had a

Turning your notebook computer into a desktop replacement is commonplace these days. Who wants a large noisy tower anyway, when they can have a smaller quiet machine that they can also take with them when they travel. But once you start using a notebook as your main computer, you might start to notice little things
