Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I really look forward to doing kitchen gadget reviews when the purpose of the gadget is to make something yummy. Today I want to show you the Pizzelle Pro Express Bake 834 from Chef’sChoice. If you are not familiar with pizzelles, they are crisp thin cookies that originated in Italy. Jeanne has wanted one forever, […]

Julie did an app review on Zinio’s digital magazine service a few years ago. At the time, I tried it for myself and read a few of their free samples/examples on my MacBook. It was an alright experience but was definitely not the same as flipping through an actual magazine. While the Touch/iPhone’s screen is

Monday morning I received an HTC Incredible for review. I quickly determined this is going to be the hardest thing for me to return yet. I am going to take a cue from Julie and do a “Week With” review of the phone.

You’re probably saying “do we really need another mouse?”. These were my sentiments before I received the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 (it is a mouthful). The device does have a hook that makes it a reasonable investment.

Since Bluetooth was developed way back in 1994, its specifications have changed dramatically, and so have the devices that utilize it. However, in my opinion, the vast majority of people who use mobile phones still prefer not to use Bluetooth headsets, even though their ease is quite straight forward. People that I’ve spoken too in the past have always

Spring and Summer will be here before we know it (yes, my fingers are crossed in hope of sooner rather than later) and with warmer weather comes an increase in travel. Whether it is a 12-hour drive south for spring break or a 30 minute drive to a local water park or beach, when the kids are

I was thinking about purchasing a label maker on and off for years. This past winter I remodeled our TV space into a media room. This included laying many wires throughout that room and the house as a whole. The entire time I wished I had a label maker (instead of a fine tipped, permanent

I knew the iPad would make a perfect device for eBook reading, newspaper reading, web surfing and game playing. But I didn’t realize that it could also be the perfect device to replace large format coffee table books. You know the books I’m talking about, the ones you see in the bargain book areas near

Working in the health care industry I do not invest a great deal in my wardrobe. I own ONE suit. I do however, own numerous pairs of flip flops. I firmly believe other than the bikini, flip flops are the best clothing item ever invented (and the only one of the two I can wear….)

A multitude of messaging mobile phones were launched in 2009, and the trend appears to be continuing in 2010. The recently-release Pantech Link offered through AT&T is one such device (see Press Release here). It is a new handset with nice hardware for a great price. Let’s dig in.

The Plantronics Explorer 395 is the company’s newest reasonably priced bluetooth headset. Now before I go any further, to put this review into full perspective, I’m also the Moderator at HowardForums for all things Bluetooth. I sadly own more headsets that I have holes in my head, and every new headset that comes out gets

What do you look for in a USB flash drive? A snazzy plastic shell? Keychain attachment? Built in security software? How about a built in storage capacity meter? If you raised your hand on that last one, you’ll want to read this review of the Lexar JumpDrive Secure II Plus USB Flash Drive.

The Gear Ring from Kinekt Design arrived in a nifty black and silver ring box along with a playful warning note of “Please Enjoy Responsibly”. I would soon discover they weren’t kidding. Upon first inspection, the ring simply looked cool in design, but once I started spinning its outer rims, I was completely mesmerized by

There are backpacks and then there are BACKPACKS. I love backpacks, always have. I’m the ultimate Bag Lady in that I just love all kinds of bags. I’m not “fashionista” in that I carry around a Coach bag with all the Cs all over it or a Louis Vuitton with the tapestry logo. No. Seriously,

I love cases for my electronics almost as much as I love the gadgets themselves. Before I received my iPad on April 3 (thank you, Julie!), I had been scouring the internet for leather cases and bags. Once I held the iPad in my hands, I realized that its size and shape might not work

I was recently given the opportunity to try out the new Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus from Verizon. The “Plus” refers to the ability of both these phones to function as 3G hotspots (like a mi-fi). You can connect up to 5 devices through Wi-Fi to access the internet through the phones. Since we
