I need some help from you guys… For the past 2-3 months, I’ve had a handful of email complaints from people saying that they sometimes have problems loading pages using Internet Explorer. The page will almost completely load and then a small popup window will come up saying that the Operation Aborted. If you press […]

Have you ever noticed that a lot of FM transmitters on the
market these days, don’t blend in very well with the interior of
most vehicles. Their design tends to be too flashy or wacky for my
personal taste. I don’t know about you, but I tend to prefer that
my vehicle accessories look more like OEM parts than something that
came from the bargain bin of AutoZone. That’s why I was pretty
amazed when I came home the other day to find a package from
Speck Products. Inside
was the MobileTune FM Transmitter for the Apple iPod.

Just as there is no single PDA that will meet every end-user’s needs, the same can be said for flashlights; there are torches for every type application and budget. Today I am going to take a look at one of the most multi-featured and customizable models I have seen to date, the Pila GL3 Series “Commendatore”.

Judie is all excited to receive the Engineering test sample of the DualCor cPC. Me, not so much. I just can’t seem get too thrilled about the whole teeny tiny Windows XP in your hand devices anymore. It’s crazy because just a few years ago, I would have sold one of my kidneys to get

If you play PC games, you probably know how important keyboard
control is to many of them, especially in the real-time strategy,
roleplaying, and shooter genres. But keyboards are designed for two
hands, and in most games you’ll always have one hand on the mouse.
The Saitek
Pro Gamer Command Unit is a USB controller that aims to improve
your control of keyboard-driven games with programmable action
buttons located directly under your fingertips for quick access,
plus a thumb-operated joystick.

If you have held off adding a small LED torch to your keyring,
after reading today’s review you may be glad that you waited. We
all know the benefits of having an LED torch where it is always
easily accessible, but the Gadget Brando 4in1 Key Ring LED Light
Pen adds a few extra perks that may make owning one even more
attractive.

I was offered the opportunity to buy an “Engineering Sample” of the DualCor cPC today, and I jumped on it – you had better believe it! Consumer models will not be shipping for another 90-120 days, and as most of you know, I have been eager (understatement!) to try this device since its announcement early

Laptop owners, this review is just for you. Today I’m going to tell you about a stand for your laptop computer that is both stylish and functional. The Laptop Stand from Pfeffer Industries (I wonder how it took for them to come up with that catchy product name?) is a clear laser cut plastic stand that is available in 3 different sizes (7.5x10in, 11x13in, and 11x16in).
I have grown spoiled by the tiny size of the Nextlink Bluespoon AX2, but there are certain features that such a diminutive headset will never be able to provide – such as caller ID and the ability to view other details that can only be shown on a display. Today I am going to take a look at the Tekkeon ET3000 ezTalker Digital Cord-Free Headset, a Bluetooth headset that boasts an impressive list of features, not the least of which is its bright OLED digital display.

Over a year and a half ago in December 2004, the much anticipated Treo 650 smartphone arrived on the market. This first model was a CDMA version from Sprint, but several months later a GSM version and then a version from Verizon also became available. Since its release, the 650 has become the most popular smartphone (combination PDA / mobile phone) device on the market. Time has not stood still for Palm. Their latest smartphone is the 700p. Should 650 owners pony up to buy this upgraded model, or should they keep their cash and wait for something with more revolutionary features, instead of evolutionary?

Friday, as I was in the midst of writing the day’s review, Alison from Astraware sent me a pre-release copy of the Pocket PC version of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templar’s, which earned her the new nickname of “the evil one“. Why? Because it took a supreme act of will power to finish the

FM Transmitters for digital music players are nothing new, but today I am going to take a look at one of the smallest and least obtrusive models I have seen thus far – the XtremeMac AirPlay²
Last month I purchased a 2006 Mazda 3 5 door, which I’m totally enjoying. It is my first new vehicle in 15yrs. Yes it’s true that I’ve been driving the same little Red pickup truck (1991 GMC Sonoma) for the last decade and a half. There’s something to be said for no car payments :o)
So anyway, I was really looking forward to this new car having a much better radio than the junko Delco in the Sonoma. Unfortunately, the stock head unit in the Mazda turned out to be a little disappointing. It lacks an Auxiliary Audio Input, so that means no optimal way to play an iPod through the speakers. I tried several iPod powered FM transmitters, but struck out there too. Unlike in my truck, the sound quality using one was horrible. Also, the location of the cigarette lighter adapter ruled out using the TransPod, which worked wonderfully in the truck.

My Treo 650 has totally spoiled me. No matter how much I want to try to go back to using a non smartphone (for portability and ease), every phone I try just leaves me wanting more. I’ve tried the Sony Ericsson w600i, Motorola Pebl, Sony Ericsson Z520a and Nokia 6131. None of them lasted for
