Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I’m an enthusiastic proponent of backing up your systems, so when I was offered the opportunity to check out GoodSync2GO, I took a shot at it. There are a plethora of programs/utilities that say they will painlessly save your data without having to think about it and I wanted to see where GoodSync2Go fits in. […]
The Plantronics Voyager Pro UC raises the bar for Bluetooth headsets and is well-deserved for all the accolades that it has received. If you have been a Bluetooth headset user from the dawn of Bluetooth as I have, you’ll quickly realize that with the Plantronics Voyager Pro UC, this ain’t your daddy’s Bluetooth!

I like to keep track of stuff. All kinds of stuff… I keep a text file where I add notes for all kinds of things that I don’t want to forget. Since I have a horrible memory, this text file comes in handy quite often. I also keep a list of books that I’ve read,

I think there must be something unusual about the shape of my ears, because I have never been able to find a pair of ear buds that I can stand to wear for more than a couple of minutes. The ear buds that come with iPods sound okay, but they hurt my ears so much

A Kindle-DX showed up on my door step after about a month from its original order date. Must have nookitis. I chose the Kindle-DX mainly because of the screen size, native PDF support, and I was accustomed to the Kindle user interface with my Kindle 1st generation. Plus the KDX is already available on the

I am a sucker for anything that functions via USB.  Funky shaped flash drives, licensed character hubs that recite theme songs and quotes, and little creatures that perform random repetitive actions have all found their way to my desk at one time or another.  When a USB-based beverage warmer and cooler from Convenient Gadgets & Gifts

When it came to my gadget list, the one thing I was missing was something to place my Blackberry on when I’m at work. I have used desk stands for devices in the past, but they generally start getting in the way and eventually end up in my desk drawers! Now, normally I would just arrive at the

Ebook readers that use E-ink displays like the Kindle and Nook are great gadgets, but they have one major shortcoming… You can’t use them in a dark room because they don’t have a back light. The folks at OCTOVO have designed a sleek LED light especially for the Kindle 2 that will be available at

Where Julie protects (covers up) the dings and scratches she puts in/on her MacBook Pro with stickers, I prefer to protect my laptop with something more substantial. Most recently I have been using the Vaja i-volution Leather Suit I reviewed late last summer to protect my Unibody MacBook. But while the Leather Suit is very

In the mid 1990s, my best friend and I took a trip to DisneyWorld in Orlando. Every time we returned to the parking lot, we faced a familiar scenario: We couldn’t find our rental car. Simply too many cars! Adding insult to injury, our rental car was a red Chevrolet Corsica… which was a staple

On February 21st Microsoft is introducing the Arc Keyboard exclusively in BestBuy stores. Like Microsoft’s Arc Mouse, the Arc Keyboard stands out for its design. About the size and weight of a thick magazine, the Arc Keyboard blends inconspicuously into its surroundings. It stores conveniently and maintains a low profile. The Arc Keyboard weighs less than

I am a fan of keeping your handheld in a case. I regularly change my cases around, depending on use or mood. When I was offered the ZAGGskin for iPhone to review, I looked at the patterns on the web site, choose one, and thought (incorrectly) that it would be a case with that pattern

BAIT from Mindless Goods is a game for the iPhone or iPod touch that doesn’t really fit into any specific gaming category. It’s not exactly a puzzle game and not really an arcade either. Actually, it’s not even that much of a game as far as I’m concerned. The idea is that you use your

There might not be much to be said for your average and sundry water cooler and dispenser…unless you’re me. I was never sold on water coolers. When they first came out, sure they were cool and the water delivery man could usually be counted on to be really cute with great looking legs. And in

Ahhhh, the 80’s….back when big hair, bell bottoms, disco, and soul-pounding boomboxes were all the rage. Thankfully most of the trends of the 1980’s have fallen to the passage of time. Over the past two decades since, how we listen to and travel with our music has certainly taken huge evolutionary steps. With the advent

I use my iPhone a lot. I mean really a lot. You know how much you use your iPhone? Well I use mine more. I’ve got a bunch of great ways to keep my iPhone charged. Let’s see if the Newer Technology NuPower Charge & Sync+ will join my charging army.

This is the last entry in my week with the LG eXpo smartphone series. It’s time to take a quick look at the camera and Pico projector and then see if this phone has ended up as my new BFF or turned out to only be a five night stand.

It’s been mentioned before on this website many times: one of the curses of technology is the problem of always having to carry it around in order to use it. In a rather unique take on the fanny/bum pack, UrbanTool has designed the icaseBelt. It’s a wide belt that contains an iPod controller, as well

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) has been around for a long time, but is a relatively new feature for the iPhone. Where SMS messages are just text, MMS messages are pictures. If you ever wanted to spice up your MMS messages, Message MMS from PerApps is just what you need. Think of it as a greeting

I’ve never been a fan of the All-in-One concept, believing that it was at best a compromise between flexibility and footprint. I’ve also been increasingly frustrated with the money I’ve spent on ink cartridges for my Canon printer. The Kodak ESP3250 printer is advertised to address my concerns, and with this review we’ll find out if
