Sony PRS-650 Touch Edition eBook Reader Review

sony prs 650 review 1

It’s September, and that means updated readers from Sony!  I’ve been a devoted fan of the PRS readers since 2006 – first the PRS-500, then PRS-505, and the PRS-600 last year.  I’ve loved my Sonys and spent thousands of hours reading on them over the years.  Unfortunately, the PRS-600, while beautiful, eventually fell out of

Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphones Review

BW1

How do you judge a pair of headphones in this pristine, digital age when you’re listening to a new track from Jónsi and Alex that has analog noise added for effect? I have no idea, but boy, does it sound ethereal and haunting. The track is “Daníell In The Sea”, which may not be your

seagate freeagent goflex tv hd media player review 1

I’ve read reviews on The Gadgeteer for media players that hook up with your TV or home theater setup and let you view your home videos, pictures, movies, and even play your music files.  I’ve always been interested in them, but I’ve never had one of these devices.  I had looked into an Apple TV

ElementCase Vapor Case for iPhone 4 Review

ElementCase Vapor 1

If ever a manufacturer has handed third-party accessories manufacturers a blank check, it was Apple with the iPhone 4.  Whereas the third-party smartphone case market traditionally sets its sights on those who want to protect or personalize their phones, the widely-publicized “Antennagate” issue has effectively ensured that practically every iPhone 4 owner will purchase a

Are you paranoid that your shiny new iPhone 4’s display will get a nasty scratch on it? Maybe you’ve thought about protecting it with a case, but didn’t want to deal with the bulk? Or you might have considered a screen protector but installing it seemed a little intimidating. I’m not really paranoid about scratches,

Starkey Labs Tunz Duo In-Ear Monitor Review

Tunz2

While some earphones/headphones available for the iPhone/iPod/iPad are great, most fall into the pretty good category.  But all of them are light years better than the earbuds that come standard with your device. The difference is that noticeable. This is not a review for you who are still using earbuds, unless you KNOW how awful

Mezzi Gold M-Zero Molded “Chuck” Briefcase Review

IMG 5559

Anyone watch the NBC television nerd series “Chuck“?  It’s all about this average computer whiz guy nerd who works at a Best Buy-like store.  He’s harmless, nerdy, a little on the wussy side.  One day Chuck receives an encoded email from an old college buddy who is now with the CIA.  The email  embeds the
