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

Road warriors now have another option when it comes to propping up their notebook computer on a desk or lap. The Cool Travel from Xbrand (not to be confused with the XT-Stand that I reviewed awhile back) is a light weight folding stand. Made of plastic and weighing only 7 ounces, this stand folds up

Happy 4th of July! If you’re not outside enjoying the holiday, you might want to check out Vaja’s new interactive case creation system that they have just implemented. It allows you to choose front and back case colors to see what your design looks like before you place an order. If you’re bored, you should

This has nothing to do with gadgets or technology, but I had to share my latest health news. For those of you following along at home, I was diagnosed with Diabetes this past December. At that time my A1C test was 6.7, then 3 months later it was 6.4 and now it is 6.0 which

When I first saw this product advertised on one of the many gadget news sites that I surf every day, I almost blew Diet Coke out my nose. What moron would actually buy this thing?! Then I came home a few days later to find one of them in my mailbox staring at me! ACK!
One of the nice things about the iPod shuffle is the fact that you don’t need a case for it. That doesn’t mean the shuffle won’t appreciate a little added protection though. Marware has a new product called the SportGrip. This soft silicone cover protects the sides of the shuffle, while adding an attachment point

I just got off the phone with Verizon. I decided it was time to turn off the data plan on my Verizonized Treo 650. The last month I had only used 13k. Definitely not worth the $49.99 I was paying per month! OUCHY! Now if I need to check something online, I can pull from

The new site is now live and permanent. The DNS switch was flipped last night. We’ve experiencing a few hiccups this morning (the server crashed for approximately 2hrs), so please let me know if you experience any strange behaviour.

I’ve been using my new HR10-250 DirecTV / TIVO PVR for a few days now and so far I like it. Being able to record and pause live HD programming is great! I do have a few gripes though… The guide is slower to navigate than my 5040 ReplayTV, and I no longer have the
