I’ve been using the Apple iPhone 4 since the day it was released. I ended up buying one without a contract since mine isn’t up for renewal till March of 2011. It was a pricey gadget purchase at over $500. Of course that never stopped me before 😉 But let’s see if I’m still happy

There was a lot of talk about this unit from Pandigital (maker of Digital Photo Frames and film scanners) around June when they were removed off the shelves of Kohl’s for poor/slow performance. They came back with newer firmware and much quicker response in July at Bed Bath & Beyond Stores along with Walgreens and

Is there any tech company not making a media player? This will be the fourth product of this type that I’ve reviewed for The Gadgeteer.

Even though I probably take over a 1000 pictures a month with my digital camera, I don’t consider myself a photographer. I don’t really know the ins and outs of F-stops, aperture, ISO or any of that other photography jargon that the pros know. All I know is that I like snapping pictures, either macro
“Blow Your Mind. Not Your Ears” was the tagline that caught my attention. In the 1980s, I was always seen walking between high school classes wearing my skinny ties and jeans with a portable cassette player. At one point, in an effort to improve my listening experience, I even had a battery-operated portable 5-band graphic

Being born in the 1970s, I grew up in a world where landline telephones were a central part of every person’s life.

Talking on the phone hands-free meant tilting one’s head sideways and using one’s

In June, Julie posted a news item about a little wooden speaker from Pyramid Distribution. Pyramid calls this unit the Motz Tiny Wooden Emotion Speaker. Unlike some small external speakers for MP3 players, the Motz has its own battery so it doesn’t drain the MP3 player’s battery. The Motz also has a built-in FM radio.
