Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
One of the earliest reviews at The-Gadgeteer was an OtterBox PDA case, and the tough little suckers have been a favorite review ever since. Being a long time fan of these colorful, tough, waterproof boxes, I jumped at the chance to do a new review. Besides, I had a project in mind that as right […]

How about a rolling beverage cooler that you can control with a handheld remote control? Is this the product for obese tailgate party attendants or brilliant geeky party hosts? Either way, it’s a fun product that has room for 12 cans or bottles with ice. It can roll up to 40 feet from the host

I really enjoy my Kindle, but always grumble when I’m unable to see the display in dimly lit environments. It’s a problem that keeps me reading on my iPhone more often than the Kindle, because the iPhone has a backlight. When the folks at Periscope asked if I would like to review their Lighted Folio

If you’ve read any of my reviews and news articles, you’ve probably noticed two things about me: I love my Sony PRS-600 Touch eBook reader, and I LOVE cases and covers for my electronic devices. Watch out, because now I’m reviewing the Executive Jacket and the Platform Jacket from M-Edge and their brand-new e-Luminator2 book

The ESPN Kickboxing Trainer ($89 – $129) is a somewhat diminutive kick boxing trainer. Its purpose is to provide a real-time targeting system for boxing, kicking, or a combination of the two. While the trainer could be used as a dummy trainer without them, six sensors on the unit light up in various positions, providing

Using an SD-Card, FlashDrive, or even a multi-Terabyte USB HardDrive, the CiragoTV Mini lets you playback videos, pictures and music that you downloaded or created at your computer on your television in beautiful 720P or 1080i ( and 480i & 480p for any tube owners ). This isn’t a networked UPNP media playback system with

Don’t show these Topobo sets to your kids. They will want a set for Christmas and you won’t be able to afford them. You might be able to afford a starter kit, but their 1000 piece kit will run you $4,999.00. Yowch! That’s the price you have to pay for a construction set that can

When I was a kid, the closest thing that I had for an electronic homework helper was a Texas Instruments calculator. As you are probably aware, those days are long gone. Families today have countless options for electronic tutoring; ranging in price, complexity and effectiveness. Today I am reviewing one of such option. LeapFrog’s FLY

Which type of iPhone user are you? One that uses a case or one that doesn’t? I fall in to the last group. I used to be a fanatic about scratches and keeping my device as pristine as possible. I’m not sure when it happened, but at some point I quit caring. That doens’t mean

I have another iPhone case for everyone out there that would like to ditch their wallet. This time it’s the KoalaKase, which is the third iPhone wallet case that I’ve tested. The first one was made of hard plastic (Case-Mate ID), the second one was made of silicone (Phone Slipper) and now I’m taking a

The Phone Slipper is the second product that I have reviewed that allows you to combine your iPhone and your wallet. People like me who don’t like to carry a lot of items with us when we are out and about love this stuff. I have been using the Case-Mate ID case since reviewing it

More then just funny capitalization (yes, that’s really how they spell it) Kamiliun uses a modular system to create a flexible backpack/bag system from mix-and-match components. I received the Chicken or the Egg package consisting of a ‘letterbox’ back on the left, above, designed to carry a laptop or other large slab-like objects, and a

The Energizer Light On Demand (LOD) Swing Lamp ($29.99) is an LED lamp with an interesting gimmick: It has a power sensing mode that turns the light source on automatically if power is lost. It can also be angled, looks sleek, and its light source can be slid out and removed from the base. So

The title sums it up, really. I thought it was no big deal at first, until the next day when I tried to watch something hands-free on my new iPhone 3GS… without a stand. The iPhone/iPod Touch are great for watching video on the go, but if you hold it in your hands, it’s not

I recently reviewed the iPhone app from Vook, the ebook format that combines multi-media content with text. I bought two Vook apps and tried them out on my iPod Touch. I did not like these Vooks. I found them buggy and lacking features that I think are very important – like remembering your place when

I will be the first to admit that I’m a crazy cat lady. Between my partner and I, we have three furry feline “kids” – Princess is around ten years old, Sumi is roughly four, and Ninja is the kitten at a year-ish. Yes, I have a kitten named Ninja. And she lives up to

Aerovation is among a small group of companies that has been certified by the TSA to manufacture and market approved cases that allow you to not have to take your laptop out for the trip through the x-ray machine. How do these bags work, and are they worth the effort? We’ll see.

I write this review as I fly at 35,000 feet in the air. I thought this would be the ideal place to review and test the noise-canceling feature of the Able Planet True Fidelity Active Noise Canceling Headphones (NC300B). Technology used in high quality hearing aids is implemented in these headphones to enhance sounds and reduce

In October, Julie had an article about vooks – a melding of ebooks with multimedia content. They can be read on your computer (through paid web access) or on your iPhone. At the time, Julie said there were only four titles available. It seems they are up to six titles now. I was digging around with

One of the powerful things about the Android, in my opinion, is the fact that you are not held captive by one way of getting applications for your phone. The Android Market is very convenient, but you can also go other routes to purchase and install applications. One of the other sources is Handmark. They
