Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I have used other Bluetooth headsets such as the Motorola H700(A/B) and found that many sound tinny or canned and can even have an echo-y sound coming from the microphone and/or the earpiece from time to time. I would rather just hold my phone to my ear until my arm got tired then struggle with […]

I typically blather on only about the really good stuff or the blatantly bad stuff. And most people do not believe me; and that’s OK. But to my amazement they took to this one. They asked questions. And they went to the web site. They even tried out different manufacturers and some even got their

The I-Sight from Radtech is a hands-free flashlight that is worn like a Bluetooth headset – on your ear. It only weighs 18 grams and the super-bright Nichia LED is powered by two 3v CR2032 coin cell batteries that provide a runtime of over 36 hours. The I-Site is available in White or Green illumination

I used to be into metal detecting aka TH’ing (treasure hunting) a bazillion years ago. I still have two detectors around here somewhere. I couldn’t help but do a double take when I saw these metal detecting sandals from Hammacher Schlemmer that come in sizes for men and women. The right sandal has a built

There are dozens of hands-free kits on the market, but the Taurus from Mobilefun distinguishes itself with several unique features, one of which could cause your insurance rates to go up. I’m going to take the unit for a test drive in my Taurus (the car) and I’ll let you know the results.

If you’re like me, you multi-task all day and have notes all over your office and probably at home. So when I came across the Dane-Elec Z-Pen my heart did a little jig. The thought that I had found something that would transcribe all of my notes into type-written text that could easily be filed

I love receiving gadgets in the mail or buying them at the store. But I hate wrestling hard plastic clamshell packages to get to the yummy gadget goodness inside. Last year I reviewed the Zibra Open It! and it was love at first snip. Now the same people (I think) have a new product on

Several years ago Surefire produced a small, (relatively) high output, limited edition LED flashlight made of pure titanium called the Titan. Surefire only made one thousand of these very well made, very expensive, ultra high-end keychain flashlights. Even with a $500 price tag, the Titan sold out rather quickly and continues today to fetch even

I originally did a review for eWallet for the Palm OS about a year ago. I liked the program then, and I like eWallet v.6.1.4 for Blackberry well enough that I am tempted to just post the old review and stamp it ‘Ditto!”

The Blackberry Visor Mount Speakerphone (VM-605) is a pretty, slick new device from RIM that combines a hands-free speakerphone with an FM transmitter to let you hear your Blackberry over the car’s speakers. In appearance and function, it is a piece of art. Besides a hands-free speakerphone, it is also billed as your gateway to

I recently moved to a new home that is in a communications dead zone. There’s no cell access, OTA TV and most troublesome, I cannot receive antenna born FM radio. Thankfully, VTECH, the cordless phone people have introduced the IS9181 Wi-Fi Internet Radio which gives me a choice of over 11,000 Internet radio stations, plus

The Foldz Flat Pen is a stainless steel writing instrument with leather trim that folds down to the size of a credit card, for easy storage in your wallet. The design is interesting, but I’m not sure how comfortable it would be to write with due to the triangular shape that it folds into. I

If you’re not a fan of Bluetooth headsets, but still wish to remain hands free while driving, there is an alternative – speakerphones. One such device is the Parrot MINIKIT Bluetooth speakerphone. Let’s take it for a spin.

I have been riding motorcycles for over two decades; nearly twice as long as I have been a true tech-junkie. While I love putting around on my bike, I have always wanted to ride with music playing. I have attempted to make this happen many times over the years but nothing I have tried was

I take my Blackberry Bold with me everywhere I go (and yes many would say I am a Crackberry addict). I regularly drain the battery to near empty using it to check/answer my emails, make phone calls (using my bluetooth headset), text message, IM, surf the Net, tether my laptop to at&t’s 3G network, play

Three products you might need for your second (or with a bit of a squeeze first) generation iPod Touch from XGear: the Mirage Touch mirrored screen protector, Nitrous Oxide case, and the Spring Base speaker. Let’s start with the ones I didn’t like so we can end with a big happy finish.

To be honest, before I reviewed the KROMA and U2 Ultra LED Flashlights I had never heard of SureFire. But after using several of their extremely well made flashlights, I have come to further realize that (99% of the time) you get what you pay for. Last year SureFire introduced their first Pen, the EWP-01,

Handsfree/Bluetooth call phone device AND an FM transmitter that can handle any MP3 player, SD.MMC cards, and USB thumbdrives? PLUS 2 remotes- a ‘normal’ one and one for the steering wheel? All this and cool blue LED lights, too? The Merconnet Bluetooth Car Kit certainly aims high, and with Julie’s great review of the Merconnet Bluetooth

Throughout my career I have focused upon features, benefits and the value proposition to recommend tech products to my customers. The ThinkGeek Bluetooth Retro Handset from is a device that has limited features, very few benefits and is not cost effective, BUT I like it anyway. If you’re curious how I came to this conclusion,
