Product Requirements: Device: PalmOne Zire 71 If anyone out there owns a Zire 71, they know why a replacement stylus is pretty much a must. The stock stylus is nothing but a plastic stick, and it’s very flexible. Not only that, but it doesn’t even reset the PDA. In short, there is no upside to

Product Requirements: A strong TV signal and either four AA batteries or an outlet for charging The ability to watch television from one’s wrist is not a new thing.

I would not have bought a new mobile phone, had I not cracked the display of my beloved Inno 90 beyond repair. Knowing I would not find a phone with the same fun factor but always looking for something new, I decided to buy one with more business features and the possibility to sync at

Product Requirements: An uncovered light socket or light fixture I am not going to kid you for a moment – when I heard that there was a light bulb claiming it could eliminate odors, I thought it was the biggest bunch of flimflammery ever.

When I recently decided to sell my Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom and upgrade to the C-750, it didn’t occur to me that the new camera would come with a neck strap, instead of the wrist strap I prefer to use. Once the problem was realized, I thought that swapping out the neck strap for my
