Who would have guessed that last year’s Palm equivalent to the mini-van – the Zire, would morph into this year’s two door sport coupe? Everything pointed to the Zire remaining Palm’s bargain PDA. But wow, things sure have changed. Now, the Zire 71 (who comes up with these model numbers anyway?) is poised to become Palm’s multimedia …
Product Requirements: Device: Scratched up CDs, DVDs, and game discs I have been buying CDs since 1985 or so, and I still have many of my earliest purchases. Over these years, I have routinely committed several of the highest forms of audio blasphemy, including the following: 1. Instead of keeping each disc safe inside …
Here’s the bag’s description printed on its tag: Durable Moisture Resistant Fabric Large Storage Compartment Cell Phone Pocket Audio Pocket and Portal Key Clip Zippered Accessory Pocket The Colorado Special Ops Sling Bag has a padded zippered pocket that rests against your back or side.

Product Requirements: Device: Compaq/HP iPAQ 3800/3900/5400, Sony CLIÉ PEG T/NR/NX/SL/SJ series PDAs There are people that are not happy with a PDA replacement stylus unless it contains a ballpoint pen, and I can understand the attraction. Even though such a pen will never replace my Delta Dolcevita, there are times when I am traveling extra-light …
Julie’s comments are in BLACK, Judie’s are in italicized BLUE How long has it been since Palm has had something fresh, something different, something cool? Sure, they’ve released their required new PDA models every year as almost every other manufacturer has done, but when was the last time that they actually came out with something that …

Product Requirements: Device: Palm m500 series PDAs Sony CLIÉ NR series PDAs PDA owners typically buy two accessories not long after buying a new PDA: a case and a stylus. Sure, PDAs usually come with some type of case and stylus, but they tend to be low on quality. This review will take a look …
Innopocket Metal Styli for the Palm m500 and Sony CLIÉ NR Series PDAs ReviewRead More
I am about to marry a man that smokes cigars. Saying that Steve just smokes them doesn’t even begin to cover the way he is about these pricey tobacco rolls. He faithfully buys the latest cigar magazines and pours over the various descriptions of Dominicans, Hondurans and offerings from other countries that have the native …
Product Requirements: Device: Device with a CF Slot or CF Sleeve A short while ago, I purchased an HP Jornada 567 and added it to my gear list. I also purchased the PC Card adapter and extra battery. With it, I am able to use my Toshiba 2GB PC Card hard drive, my 802.11b LAN …
Product Requirements: Device: Any touch screen device I haven’t written a stylus review in quite awhile. Why? Mainly because I haven’t found one to spark my interest in a long time. It seems like most of the new styli that I’ve seen advertised are huge 584 function pens that require you to devote an entire …

Product Requirements: Device: Sony CLIÉ T or NR Series PDA Generally when I am looking for a replacement stylus for any PDA, I am wanting something that will not only look more aesthetically pleasing, but that will also add a bit of weight to the original. If neither of those needs are met, then I …
Brando 3-in-1 Stylus for the Sony CLIÉ T/NR Series ReviewRead More
In case you couldn’t tell, here at The Gadgeteer, we love cases and bags! As you can imaging though, after reviewing hundreds of them (no, I’m not exaggerating…), we aren’t always chomping at the bit to write the next one. But, sometimes something ‘different’ comes along that makes a typical review not feel like a …
