Wow, I’ve shocked myself! I’ve been on an eBay selling spree since the holidays, and have totally downsized my PDA collection. Most of them were collecting dust on a shelf so I thought what the heck. I’m now down to only the Tungsten T (my main PDA at the moment), iPAQ 3835, iPAQ 3670, Sony […]

I’d like to apologize to everyone for my 2nd mailing list goof. *BLUSH* I accidentally copied the list on a message to a vendor asking for an eval of a new PDA. *ARGH* The problem was brought on by Outlook’s wonderful address completion feature (yes, I’m being sarcastic). *SIGH* I’ve had the mailing list address

Now that it is the weekend, I plan to spend quite a bit of time putting the HP 1910 through its paces. So far the screen looks even better to me than the 5455 that I had. Too bad I already sold it, or I could have taken some comparison photos for the review. I

My first DVD player review was the NextBase unit from Merconnet.com. That was last summer, and I’ve been using it ever since. A very small and portable player, it worked great and didn’t take up much room at all on my entertainment center. I was surprised when Merconnet contacted me a few week ago to

Wow, do I have the ultimate gear bag for all of you gadgeteers out there! Well, it could almost be the perfect bag (at least for me) if it wasn’t for one thing… Velcro. But I’m getting ahead of myself… The Tactical Gear Bag from The Military Watch Resource was designed with military and law

My 5455 was DEAD this morning! I woke up, tried to turn it on and wasn’t successful. I pressed the reset button and still nothing. So I thought maybe the battery had died during the night, so I put it in the charger. The charge light would not come on. I tried pluging the AC

The physical fitness buffs out there will probably agree with me, when I say that most heart rate monitors are a pain to use! They require you to wear an uncomfortable elastic / plastic strap around your chest that is cold when you first put it on, and then gets sweaty as you work out…
