MotionLingo ADEO GPS Fitness Trainer
I recently bought a Nordic Track treadmill, which I absolutely
love; not only does it have all of the expected features, it can
also accept iFit workout cards. These SD shaped cards offer
different workout programs with progressive levels of difficulty
along with the positive feedback of a trainer verbally telling me
what’s coming up, as the console displays what I have done. Largely
because of this type instant feedback, I have always preferred
walking on a treadmill to walking outdoors. But today I am going to
introduce a product that provides verbal feedback for many outdoor
activities, eliminating one of my main excuses for preferring to
exercise indoors.

Brando 512MB USB Flash Drive Laser Pen
The item I am going to talk about today has quickly become one of
my favorite gadgets; not only because it feeds my inner secret
agent fantasies, but also because it has proven to be very useful
and handy to own. At first glance, the Brando 512MB USB Flash Drive
Laser Pen looks similar to any other fat barreled writing implement
– with the exception of a small silver toned button next to the
clip.

Imation USB Clip Flash Drive
Has anyone else noticed the way that carabiners, once a tool used mainly by mountain climbers and other outdoorsy types have slowly been working their way into the mainstream? I have several water bottles with them attached, a pen, and even a travel wallet. I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone attached a carabiner to a flash memory drive, and this is actually an application that makes sense.

Sony Vaio VGN-UX50 uPC review
Ultra portable PCs (uPC) seem to be really hot right now. With
Microsoft’s Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) / Origami devices being announced here there and everywhere, it looks like this product category has the potential to become as popular as PDAs were a few years ago.
Maybe… Exactly one year ago I reviewed the
Sony Vaio VGN-U71P ultra portable Windows XP PC. Despite a few minor complaints, that little guy made a very good travel companion. To this day I kick myself for deciding to get rid of it… Especially now that I don’t have even one Windows PC in the house any longer. Yes, Mac person here.

SCOTTeVEST SeV Performance T-Shirt
A year ago, when I reviewed the SCOTTeVEST SeV T-Shirt, there were quite a few people that immediately saw how great a Personal Area Network (PAN) enabled t-shirt such as this could be for their workouts, but there was one caveat – the first generation shirt was made of 100% heavy cotton. While a heavy

DYMO LabelWriter Twin Turbo
Does anyone truly enjoy visiting their local post office? I don’t think I’m the only person that doesn’t look forward to standing in line during my lunch hour or after work, just to buy a few stamps or to mail a package. As a result, in the past couple of years, I’ve used the USPS website to print my priority mail labels. This saves me wasting 30 minutes or more standing in line. But it always seems that I’m out of regular first class stamps, or if I do find unused stamps in a drawer, I’m never sure if they are the current value. Today I’m going to tell you about the DYMO LabelWriter Twin Turbo. This dual printer just might be the solution to all of your postage printing and label printing needs.

Maxpedition Thermite Versipack Gear Bag
Being a gadgeteer, we all know too well the dilemma of not having a third hand to carry the numerous gadgets we simply must not leave home without. Some of us barely get by not forgetting our wallet, glasses, watch and car keys. We must have our cell phone, iPod, PDA, all of the latest

Mobile Edge Geneva Tote Laptop Bag
If I were looking for a casual backpack or messenger-style laptop bag, the selection would seem endless. With a budget of $100 I could have my pick of fabrics, sizes, pocket types; a near endless sea of options. But if I needed a laptop bag that would look good when I was wearing high heels

Walletex Wallet Flash 128MB Flash Drive
USB Flash based memory drives come in so many shapes and styles these days, it’s almost hard to remember the time when every computer didn’t have a USB port and a floppy disk was the most convenient way to transfer files between computers. Considering that USB ports are the only type port common to every

Gadget Brando SOS Rotary Torch
I really enjoy reviewing flashlights that are self-powered, not just because these torches do away with the wasteful need for batteries, but also because I get a kick from seeing the different methods companies dream up to generate the power necessary to make their particular flashlights glow. So far I have reviewed lights that used

My Light LED Clip Light
There are some days when I can’t help but wonder why so many companies are intent on reinventing the paperclip. Okay, not exactly the paperclip in this example, but the clip light. In just the last couple of years, I have seen and reviewed lights with gator clips, lights that clip on hats, lights that

Plustek OpticSlim M12 Plus USB Portable Scanner
Longtime Gadgeteer readers may remember that I had previously mentioned how researching my family’s genealogy has become more than just a hobby. Fortunately genealogy was also my uncle’s passion, and when he died his vast collection of research materials was donated to Angelo State University‘s West Texas Collection. Having local access to his files has

Smarthome 1900 Weather Station
Unlike those people that can tell when a storm is approaching by the ache in their knees or by the call of a rain crow, my meteorological abilities usually only manifest about thirty minutes before the storm hits – when I can smell the rain in the air and once I have heard the rumble

Rainbow Maker
It doesn’t take much to entertain me when it comes to geek toys. Some times the simplest products can be the best products. So, what do you get when you take a solar panel, a prism, some gears and a suction cup? You get the solar powered Rainbow Maker. Available from Lazybone, this little gadget
Soldius 1 Universal Solar Charger With iPod Kit
There is one power source that is available to everyone, almost regardless to their global location. This power source that doesn’t require sending humans into the bowels of the earth, the use of fossil fuels, nuclear reactors or the creation of pollution as a by-product. Of course I am referring to solar energy, and today

Are you the type of gadget nut that goes completely over the top by customizing your PDAs, mobile phones or handheld game machines with 3rd party replacement buttons, antennas, shells, etc?

Crumpler Breakfast Buffet Laptop Bag
When I think of well-designed, stylish laptop bags that are made from quality materials, there are a couple of names which always come to mind: Tom Bihn, RoadWired and Waterfield. Well, now I can add Crumpler to that list. Crumpler bags should be somewhat familiar to Gadgeteer readers because Julie and I did a joint
