Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
A couple of years ago, I moved from a desktop computer to a laptop. I love everything about my laptop – except for its speakers. Those things must be smaller than my thumbnail, and they sound muted and muddy. They also aren’t capable of producing any volume, even when I peg the volume level at […]

It seems like there’s a new media center/player introduced every week, so there must be some interest out there. I had the opportunity to try out the Cirago CMC2000 TV Platinum unit, one of the latest offerings from this Company. If you want to record video, stream music and photos or listen to Internet radio, this could be

As soon as I opened the Skooba box I fell in love with the color of my bag! I know that sounds like a girl thing but let’s face it-I’m a girl! If you want something that sounds like a guy thing, how about my 80 year old father who said- “It has lots of

Taking pictures of products for our reviews is a big part of what we do here on The Gadgeteer. I’m pretty picky when it comes to my review images and am always looking for tips, tricks and of course gadgets, to make my job easier. The LightRight Professional Reflector System is a handy kit that

In September, 2009, I posted a review of the new Sony Touch Edition reader (PRS-600). That reader has a touch screen, dictionary, note-taking abilities, and it retails for $299.99. It’s a fabulous reader, but it does have a problem with screen glare. It’s also expensive and has some features that many people don’t want to

First off, I REALLY love Saddleback Leather Company‘s motto of ‘They’ll fight over it when you’re dead’. That is saying something in today’s disposable society; where electronics are engineered to last a few years before their battery dies, motherboard fries, or they simply self destruct. Saddleback believes their products are so well made they guarantee

We’re living in the future. While cancer has yet to be eradicated, many medical conditions which would have meant either a lifetime of pain or even death to people not so long ago are treated by medications developed over the last hundred years. Me? After an incident when I was 16, I was left with
With everything that is out there on the market for laptop protection, you almost can’t beat SLAPPA laptop sleeves. I’m a serious laptop bag/laptop sleeve person. It’s not that I can’t get enough protection for my devices, I just dig sleeves and bags. The protection from scratches, bumps, chips, dirt and spilled things doesn’t hurt

I am a TV junkie and whenever I accidentally miss one of my favorite shows, I use various methods to download the video file so I can watch it. I don’t watch the shows on my iMac or iPhone though. I stream them to my 65″ RPTV so I can watch them in my living

USB flash drives have been around for awhile now. They come in many shapes, sizes, and capacities. Like most gadgeteers we love our USB flash drives to have a beautiful shape, small size, and of course large capacity. That’s where SuperTalent’s 32GB Pico USB flash drive comes in.

I live with someone that loves growing house plants. We have a bazillion of them in our family room. Jeanne likes buying and growing plants, but (and don’t tell her I told you…), she doesn’t have the Greenest of thumbs. At any one time, there will be several plants that look like they are just

When I got my iPod touch, I was excited that I’d be able to watch videos on its “big” screen. And I have a history of problems with finding comfortable ear buds, so I was happy that the touch had a built-in speaker so I could listen to music without using ear buds or external

Wouldn’t It Be Nice? To start with, I’m not a big cell phone fan. In fact, I have a reproduction of a turn of the century candlestick phone…you know.. the kind where you hold the earpiece to your ear but speak into a mouthpiece mounted on a slender structure? It works just fine for me.

A month ago Jackie sent me an email with the subject line of “Interesting Product” and a link to the Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet from Improv Electronics. It looked interesting to me too, so I posted a quick news blurb about it and kept waiting for it to come in stock so that I

I have a thing for wallets and I’m always looking for minimal designs that I can use when I’m traveling. In my regular day-to-day life, I use a Waterfield wallet, but when I’m at a trade show, on vacation, etc., I only want to carry a few bills and a couple cards with me. I

I reviewed an earlier model of the AirFlow Breeze and was not greatly impressed, but the addition of a temperature sensor in the ‘Ultra’ model makes a big difference. Let’s take a look.

Did you ever get stuck as the official notes-taker for a meeting? It’s not so bad if you can take your laptop in and type them up as you go, but it’s a pain if that’s not an option. You can photocopy your handwritten notes, but sometimes you’re expected to get them into the computer.

Whether being environmentally conscious is the “thing” to do these days or whether they really mean it, Keen Inc., appears to really mean it. Making the right choices in the materials they use in their lifestyle apparel products is the hallmark of the Keen mission statement. As a recycler in a disposable society, I can

Being a self-confessed gadget freak, I’ve collected a large number of USB flash drives over the past few years and like most people, I use them for many purposes; storing pictures, documents, presentations, applications… you name it, it’ll be saved to one of my flash drives. They are of course extremely handy, everyone knows that. No bigger than

ThinkGeek has been steadily importing Star Wars ephemera from across the pond for quite some time, making available goods that would never have previously seen the light of day stateside. And honestly, how did we live for so long before without our lightsaber chopsticks? Their latest offering is in the form of lightsaber-shaped USB drives, and
