Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
The gateway between your home/office network and the rest of the internet is your router, and in most cases it’s a very ‘dumb’ device. That’s started to change, with routers becoming more useful, and I started thinking about getting an upgrade. I’ve been using a Linksys WRT-54GL with DD-WRT firmware for the last couple months […]

The iClooly (I think I could have come up with a better name than that) from Pyramid Distribution is an aluminum desk stand for your iPhone 3G or 3GS that pivots for use in landscape and portrait orientations. There are cutouts for the docking connector, earphone jack and wake button, making it a nifty little

Work has recently replaced my at&t BlackBerry Bold with a Verizon BlackBerry Storm 2. Even before receiving my new device, I began researching which screen protector and cases I wanted to protect my fancy new tech-toy. To be honest, I typically begin this type of search at Brando for screen protectors and Vaja for cases.

When it comes to gadgets, I think product design is a key area to think about. Some people might argue that build quality is more important and ultimately, I may tend to agree to an extent. However, when a gadget has an eye-catching design that really turns heads, then it certainly has to be worth a second look!

I remember in grade-school staying up late with the lights off in my room listening to Toledo Goaldiggers hockey games on my portable black RCA transistor radio. I remember picking up a St. Louis station from my then home in Toledo and thinking how cool that was.

As with all their products, Clickfree engineers simple backup solutions that provide users with the ability to store and transfer data from one computer to the next.

The holidays might be over, but are you still feeling the holiday spirit? Are you the kind of person that changes your ringtone to Jingle Bells in keeping with the festivities? Then FestiveTones is for you. Some of you may remember MailTones that was reviewed previously here at the Gadgeteer. The premise is still the
Saddleback Leather Company is well known for their rugged bags that are constructed to last a lifetime. A claim which they back up with a whopping 100yr warranty. I’ve reviewed several of their bags in the past couple of years, but this is the first time that they’ve offered to send me one of their

I own two cats, Wylie (who behaves as though he’s the Pharaoh of Egypt) and Hammy (given to me by a homeless person) who is a spaz. I love cats. I also like dogs and I have two of those as well. But one thing I hate is cleaning up after my cats. I have

HP’s A826 Compact Photo Printer is designed as an easy and fun-to-use, space-saving photo printer. Featuring a nice color touch screen and a housing that looks like something from Wall-E, it at least accomplishes that goal. How is it otherwise?

Man, this review HURTS me to write. I’m a Microsoft fangirl. I have been since before I bought my first computer with 4 mb of memory and a 40 mb hard drive that had to be partitioned so the operating system (DOS) could handle it. I even LOVE Vista. I often liked the way Mac

I’m not a huge water drinker, but the person I live with doesn’t go anywhere without a bottle of water. We buy multi-packs of Aquafina and other name brand bottled water when it is on sale. Even though we recycle the empty plastic bottles, I still feel guilty buying them. That’s why I’ve been trying

I like this laptop stand / cooler from Targus mainly for its simple yet funky design. The CoolWave is designed as its name suggests, it has a wave-like shape that allows hot air from the laptop’s base to quickly dissipate. It has non-skid feet and slots for routing cables. The sub $15 price tag is

Just like spending time in Australia, the BottleMate just makes things fun. The BottleMate looks like a cross between a fingernail clipper and fifteenth century torture device. Its purpose, however, is to access necessary liquid contained in otherwise locked up containers. Ok it’s a beer bottle opener. But it’s fun.

A few years ago, making scrapbooks from photos seemed to be a national obsession. Women especially seemed to spend hours (and untold dollars) preserving photos and family memories while exercising their artistic abilities. I made a few scrapbooks in my day, and they are big, heavy, and hard to store. Picaboo is an online service

Controlling a PC, Mac or Playstation 3 that is connected to your television can sometimes be a huge hassle. Wireless keyboards are too large and bulky, while regular sized remote controls are too small and limited. The GlideTV Navigator Remote combines features from both and packages them into a hand friendly design. But let’s see
