Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
So you look at these and think, “You gotta be kidding.” This is what I have to put up with because my hands are freezing at the office? Do I really have to sacrifice my dignity with these and subject myself to snickers and snorts just because I’m a wimp and hate cold hands?

Back before the Internets were invented by Al Gore, we couldn’t just look up information on a computer when we had questions about people, places and things. In those days our ‘google’ was a set of Encyclopedia Britannica books. Today, all that same info that we used to look up in multiple volumes of hardbound

I know what a lot of you are thinking… “oh great, another Bluetooth ear piece. And I have to be honest, I thought the same thing when I saw this. Boy was I wrong! First of all, it is an actual Research In Motion Blackberry branded device, not some third party off brand. RIM is

From the picture it may be hard to tell what the object on the right is – is it a pen, a pencil? Hint – look at the shadow. The Swingtime Readers are as narrow as they appear. The next photo shows the same objects from a different angle.

Let me start by saying I do not condone smoking in any way shape or form. Now with that said, unfortunately I am a smoker. However I am in the process of quitting…AGAIN. I have quit in the past with the help of medication. This time I wanted to give something else a try. When

I’m not fond of starting reviews on a negative slant, but I would like to make clear that I am not a fan of Bluetooth headsets. I like, no love, Bluetooth technology. I think it rocks. But I am one of those rare individuals who honestly doesn’t get this insane thirst to stay connected 24/7

I’ve been using the VTech 6042 Two Handset Cordless Phone System since reviewing it a little over 2 years ago. It’s been a decent phone and answer machine, but after 2 years, I’m ready to try something different. How about another VTech phone? I’m replacing the 6042 system with the Vtech Expandable Cordless Phone System

Last month, news of two new Sony readers leaked when someone found repair manuals for new devices called the PRS-300 and the PRS-600. Gadget sites were rife with speculation about these devices and when they’d be released. Sony quickly confirmed that these new devices would be released at the end of August, and they even

Like a lot of us, I travel for work fairly often, lugging my rotator-cuff rending Lenovo T60p (with extended life battery) and its builders-grade power brick through airports and hotels. Because of this, I am rather fanatical about accessories that can help me save time, weight and space, both on my daily grind commute and

I have used other Bluetooth headsets such as the Motorola H700(A/B) and found that many sound tinny or canned and can even have an echo-y sound coming from the microphone and/or the earpiece from time to time. I would rather just hold my phone to my ear until my arm got tired then struggle with

I typically blather on only about the really good stuff or the blatantly bad stuff. And most people do not believe me; and that’s OK. But to my amazement they took to this one. They asked questions. And they went to the web site. They even tried out different manufacturers and some even got their

I used to be into metal detecting aka TH’ing (treasure hunting) a bazillion years ago. I still have two detectors around here somewhere. I couldn’t help but do a double take when I saw these metal detecting sandals from Hammacher Schlemmer that come in sizes for men and women. The right sandal has a built

There are dozens of hands-free kits on the market, but the Taurus from Mobilefun distinguishes itself with several unique features, one of which could cause your insurance rates to go up. I’m going to take the unit for a test drive in my Taurus (the car) and I’ll let you know the results.

If you’re like me, you multi-task all day and have notes all over your office and probably at home. So when I came across the Dane-Elec Z-Pen my heart did a little jig. The thought that I had found something that would transcribe all of my notes into type-written text that could easily be filed
