Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
Working in the health care industry I do not invest a great deal in my wardrobe. I own ONE suit. I do however, own numerous pairs of flip flops. I firmly believe other than the bikini, flip flops are the best clothing item ever invented (and the only one of the two I can wear….) […]

A multitude of messaging mobile phones were launched in 2009, and the trend appears to be continuing in 2010. The recently-release Pantech Link offered through AT&T is one such device (see Press Release here). It is a new handset with nice hardware for a great price. Let’s dig in.

The Plantronics Explorer 395 is the company’s newest reasonably priced bluetooth headset. Now before I go any further, to put this review into full perspective, I’m also the Moderator at HowardForums for all things Bluetooth. I sadly own more headsets that I have holes in my head, and every new headset that comes out gets

The Gear Ring from Kinekt Design arrived in a nifty black and silver ring box along with a playful warning note of “Please Enjoy Responsibly”. I would soon discover they weren’t kidding. Upon first inspection, the ring simply looked cool in design, but once I started spinning its outer rims, I was completely mesmerized by

There are backpacks and then there are BACKPACKS. I love backpacks, always have. I’m the ultimate Bag Lady in that I just love all kinds of bags. I’m not “fashionista” in that I carry around a Coach bag with all the Cs all over it or a Louis Vuitton with the tapestry logo. No. Seriously,

I love cases for my electronics almost as much as I love the gadgets themselves. Before I received my iPad on April 3 (thank you, Julie!), I had been scouring the internet for leather cases and bags. Once I held the iPad in my hands, I realized that its size and shape might not work

I was recently given the opportunity to try out the new Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus from Verizon. The “Plus” refers to the ability of both these phones to function as 3G hotspots (like a mi-fi). You can connect up to 5 devices through Wi-Fi to access the internet through the phones. Since we

It’s not going to replace my Canon G11 anytime soon, but I think the iPhone 3GS’s built in camera does a pretty good job for quick snapshots. When I say pretty good, I’m talking image quality and not camera features. Let’s face it, the only features of the camera app are the shutter and video toggle buttons.

The Wizcom ReadingPen/TS is marketed as “a portable learning tool” aimed at people trying to learn English, how to read, or with reading challenges.

I finally got around to upgrading my MacBook Pro’s 200 GB hard drive. I could go on and on about how annoying it was to have to go to an authorized service center to get the upgrade since my generation of MBP does not have a user-upgradeable hard drive, but since Julie does not provide
