A who did what? Huh? Ok, so Tegra itself is not a gadget, and many of you have probably never heard of it. We talked about it a little bit in The Gadgeteer’s ZuneHD Rumor Mill Roundup a while back. What Tegra is, is a platform, an entire system on a chip, geared for mobility. […]

I do my best to be a steward of the environment through recycling, reusing, composting, minimizing fuel and electricity use when ever possible.

Microsoft has launched the new iteration of its search engine, oddly named “Bing” a little earlier than was rumored. I haven’t had a chance to put it through the paces, but, it does seem to pop results up very fast. Of course, that could be because no one is using it yet. :O But if

We like our TV media players here at The Gadgeteer, with my current favorites being the Popcorn Hour Media Tank and WD TV HD. I just received an email from Brando with a link to an interesting looking adapter that allows you to play media files from an SATA hard drive, USB flash drive or

Idiot lights. Hate them, hate them, hate them! Especially the &^%$*# “Check Engine Light”. Did you know that the Check Engine Light can come on just because the gas cap is loose? Who’s brilliant idea was it to put a light on the dashboard that can come on for everything from a major engine emergency

Locale was a Grand Prize Winner in the first Android Developer Challenge. It is a tool that allows you to perform a number of actions based on conditions you define in the application. It makes great use of the Android G1’s location abilities, but frankly the name is misleading, because it can do far more

There’s been a real drought of gadget and new product related shows on TV for awhile now. I really miss HGTV’s I Want That and I Want That Tech Toys with Peter Rojas of Engadget stardom. We haven’t had a new season of ABC’s American Inventor either. While I’ve been mourning the lack of shows,

Reuters is reporting that Verizon will be getting the Palm Pre in about 6 months along with the Storm 2 and even hints at Android phones. What’s next? The iPhone?

Being an early adopter I could not wait for my Cupcake to be delivered, so with some trepidation I followed the directions on Android Guys and manually downloaded Cupcake to my G1. If you are not sure what Cupcake is, it is an update to the Android OS to version 1.5. Frankly, it adds a

We’ve reviewed a few vibration style speakers here on the gadgeteer (example: the Free-D i-Ball). You know the type I’m talking about, they turn any flat surface into a sound board. In my experience, they tend to ummm… how can I put this nicely… They suck. Ok, that wasn’t very nice. But yeah. The KBox
Pete The Gadget Geek Stanley sent me a tip about this nifty digital photo frame called the Shake a Pix. It’s about the size of a credit card, has a built in USB connect to charge and transfer pix. But the cool feature is the fact that it has a built in motion sensor. To

I enjoy reviewing GPS photo tagging gadgets here on The Gadgeteer, so I will be interested to see how ATP’s latest PhotoFinder device compares to their previous models. They are hailing it as the answer to Sony’s GPS-CS3KA. The PhotoFinder Pro does sound like it has the upper hand due to the fact that it
