Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
In today’s plug-and-play, wireless, streaming, hi-definition world, it’s not uncommon to find products geared towards the fusion of technology and media. TVs are now equipped with integrated wireless services, and, as Jay mentioned earlier this week, even the home telephone is receiving the tech-treatment. Micca has decided to enter the digital media fray with their […]

I first learned about the LOK8U nu.m8 GPS locator from a Gadgeteer post earlier this year. I was intrigued. I’ve had friends who have lost track of their children in crowded places. While it’s never happened to my 4-year old son yet, and I consider myself an attentive parent, I want all the help I

Beam N Read Hands-free Lights from ASF Lightware Solutions are portable LED lamps worn on the chest. The theory is that this illuminates your working area better than headlamps or other options. The people who make them are pretty enthusiastic about them, and deservedly so!

I’ve been using one of those inexpensive, black plastic charging stations on my bedside table for recharging my phone, iPod touch, and my Sony reader. Those stations are nice because they only need one outlet, but it takes up a lot of room on my table. I like the idea of those charging mats, but

When I first discovered the TabToolKit iPhone App by Agile Partners I thought it was a very cool idea for guitar players who like to use tablature to learn new tunes. I quickly learned that this application isn’t just for guitar players. Ukulele players like myself, banjo players, piano players, etc will also love this

I’m sure many of you have dropped your cell phones a few times before and quickly picked it back up to see if it worked or not. If you were lucky, your cell phone might have gotten away with just a small dent or scratch. But cell phones are getting smaller and slicker everyday and

Ears. Everybody has them, and everybody’s are different. So different, in fact, that it has been suggested that our ears might be suitable as a basis for biometric identification. So if our ears are as unique as our fingerprints, why is it that our earbuds are not? Yurtopia is a company that was started in

Ok. Anyone who has read the Gadgeteer knows that I love laptop bags. I have no idea why…some people collect stamps… I collect laptop bags. I have two sizes of computers… my large Dell and my 10.2 inch Acer Aspire One Netbook. I’m a writer so I lug my laptops around with me everywhere and

Our family does a fair amount of camping during the year, nothing steep and deep, but out in the sticks none the less. Camping, my Air Force survival training, being a diehard MythBuster fan, etc., I try to be prepared for nearly any circumstance. That being said, EXOTAC has several products that not only adds

If you’re looking to get away from the bright city lights, there are few places on earth darker than a moonless night out on the Western frontier of Afghanistan. A good light source is indispensable in this environment. In fact, several lights are part of most Soldiers’ kits. One light that has found a permanent

Today I have something for robot and remote control toy enthusiasts. It’s the Zibits Mini R/C Robot from Senario. Zibits are cute 2 inch tall collectible robots that can rotate 360 degrees and are equipped with lights and sounds.

About six years ago, my employer presented me with a laptop to use as my primary work computer. It was handed to me along with an ugly little basic black laptop bag, and soon I was carrying this bag with me to and from work every day. It wasn’t long before I abandoned that bag

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

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
