Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Regular readers of The Gadgeteer are familiar with the fact that I’m a Mac person. My main computer for the past several years has been an iMac. I upgraded last year to the 27″ version and it has been my work horse until early last month when it switched roles and became my TV. When […]

With Apple’s recent release of the iPad, case-mate has begun selling a half dozen cases specifically designed to protect your fancy new device.

I don’t know about the rest of the Gadgeteer team, but I feel like it’s raining iPad cases these days. Don’t believe me? Well, it’s a Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm and just a few minutes ago I heard someone walking on my deck and when I went upstairs to see who it was, a Fedex

I’ve always loved taking photos, but I’m not so good with keeping my photos arranged to make it easy to enjoy looking at them. A few years ago, I tried scrapbooking, but that’s a very expensive hobby. A single book could end up costing hundreds when you factor in cost of printing the pictures, buying

Back in the stone age when I was a kid, we had classic toys like Etch-a-Sketch, Spirograph and Lite-Brite. I had the first two, but never had the pleasure of having a Lite-Brite. This was a simple toy that encouraged creativity and imagination. It allowed you to make pictures with little colored plastic pegs that

Last year, Julie was kind enough to send over the Artwizz Powerbat for me to review and I thought was a great piece of kit. It was small, light, looks great and it’s a cinch to use. And, since having done the review, I’ve used it countless times to provide power to my gear whilst traveling, without any issues whatsoever.

The best thing about the iPhone and iPad is that they are finger friendly. No stylus needed. Sometimes a stylus does come in handy though and regular ones will not work with these devices due to their capacitive displays. I’ve reviewed other capacitive styli in the past, but today I want to tell you about

The Cirago TV Pro CTP1000 Multimedia Player is a slick device that lets you play a wide variety of digital media on your TV. This sounded like the perfect thing for me- I have a bunch of photos, videos, and music scattered over several computers and it would be nice to store them all in

After one month, I’m still loving my iPad. 90% of the time it’s left sitting on my coffee table at home, but the other 10% of the time I carry it with me to other locations via my gear bag. I haven’t found the perfect play through case for it yet and am not sure

Alarm clocks designed around the iPhone / iPod are not something new. But an alarm clock like the iHome iA5 App Enhanced Clock that can be completely controlled by an iPhone or iPod is new. You can use this device as a speaker and as an alarm clock with social networking features. Let’s take a

I have been using screen protectors since the days of the Palm V. Back when they were just a simple piece of plastic that slid under the edge of the casing. Over the course of the many years since, not only have our tech-toys improved by leaps and bounds but the protection for them has

My week with the HTC Incredible turned into almost 2 weeks, but still it didn’t seem long enough. Even after the brief hour I spent with it to create the First Looks post, I knew I was going to like this phone. Now after a week, the standout features for me were: Speed (1 GHz

Are you ready to go hands free but don’t want to stick a Bluetooth headset in your ear? I feel the same way. That’s why I’m trying to find the best Bluetooth speakerphone. We’ve reviewed different speakerphones here on The Gadgeteer before, but the one I am going to show you today raises the bar

With the advent of computer e Readers, Kindle and Nook, it would seem as though the book in audio form would be obsolete. I’ve never been a big fan of audio books. I like the idea a lot because it makes literature in all forms available to the visually impaired, it’s an interesting way to

As I mentioned in the review for the Belkin Grip Vue case for iPad, my husband, Butch, and I both have iPads. We both use the Grip Vue case, and that works fine while using the iPad. We both wanted something that would protect the screen when we’re traveling with the iPad. I don’t mind

When it comes to headsets, I’m really picky. In 2004 when I started playing on-line co-op games with my younger brothers in-law, I shopped around for various stereo headsets with microphones for gaming. They were all either too uncomfortable, or had poor outgoing audio. Eventually, I took drastic measures and made my own, and I’ve

Even though I’ve owned tons of audio/video equipment over the years, I’ve never had a universal remote. The best ones always were very expensive, and the ones I could afford never seemed to actually have enough buttons to handle all the functions of my various pieces of equipment. And who could remember how all those
