Studies have shown that 67.89% of gadgeteers own digital cameras, and that 99.8% of my studies have been conducted on a Ouija Board. Nevertheless, I’d wager a bunch o’gadgeteers own digital cameras, and I’d further bet more than a few have lost photos to corrupted media – whether the camera (or operator) accidentally deletes those

After purchasing an iPAQ 12 months ago, my long daily commute with this Pocket PC and Avantgo left me with a feeling of wanting “something more.” Not wanting to spend a lot of additional money, I avoided the cost, bulk, and wait for wireless networking alternatives, such as the now defunct Ricochet.
