lg expo 1

It’s been nearly a year since I’ve carried a Windows Mobile device as my everyday phone. Back then it was the Pantech Matrix Pro. Today it’s the LG eXpo for AT&T. Like the Pantech, the eXpo has a slide out qwerty keyboard. But the eXpo has some other surprises as well. I’m going to use

VillageTronics ViBook DisplayLink USB Video Card Review

Review ViBook 001

I am a master of multiple monitors. At my last job, I wrangled my way into having a total of four LCDs connected to my workstation, which was pretty fantastic for multitasking. The downside was that such a configuration requires more than one video card (usually). Your run-of-the-mill video card has either one or two

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

OtterBox Storm 2 Commuter and Defender Case Reviews

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.

Fred 500 XL Giant Earbud Speakers Review

Fred 500Xspeakers review1

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!
