Vaja Motorola Razr V3i i-Volution Leather Suit
For the longest time leather and leather type cases have been designed to protect and carry the phone for the average cell phone user. I’m sure you have seen them out there. The big baggy or clunky looking leather cases designed for cell phones. Those typically cost ~$19.00 and looked like crap. Well the case I’m reviewing today will put your mind at ease and make your Motorola Razr V3i mobile phone look even better with the stylish i-Volution case that Vaja has created.

2 Chargers In 1
Whenever I travel, I make it a personal challenge to pack as little as possible, while still including all my most important gear. Usually the things that take up the most space in my carry-on bag are all of the AC adapters that are needed to keep my gadgets running while I’m away from home.
Sylvania’s Dot-it mini LED Light
I am a huge fan of white LEDs. Light Emitting Diodes are bright, compact, and require little power, which makes them perfect for small spaces. While reorganizing my utility closet last winter, I became frustrated that it did not have any built-in source of light. Briefly contemplating the idea of rewiring of my house, I decided to look for a battery powered light source made to stick to a wall or ceiling.

Aliph’s Jawbone Bluetooth Headset
When you’re a gadget geek like us, it’s always a quest to find the perfect mobile phone, PDA, computer, gear bag, stylus, etc., etc. It goes on and on and on. We’re never satisfied. We’re constantly searching out the best device and accessories. That’s the way it has been for me with Bluetooth headsets. While I’ll admit that I don’t really use one all that often, I still want the most comfortable and best sounding one I can find. And hey, if I really could find one that matches both of those criteria, I might just use one way more often. Well I’m happy to report that I think I’ve found the holy grail of headsets with Aliph’s Jawbone Bluetooth headset.

Liar Liar Pants On Fire
Remember how I said that I wasn’t going to buy an Apple TV? Well, I lied. I’m getting ready to place an order with Apple right now. Why am I going back on what I said? I was offered an accessory to review that was created to compliment the Apple TV. I think I’m more

Etymotic Research ety8 Bluetooth Noise-Isolating Earphones
I love listening to my 2nd generation Apple iPod Nano, but the earbud cables always seem to get in my way. So far I’ve only had the opportunity to review one wireless headphone solution for the iPod: Bluetake’s i-PHONO mini BT450Tx. Unfortunately, I didn’t really like it all that much and to date I am still using wired phones. Then this past January, I was able to a demo Etymotic Research’s ety8 Bluetooth earphones at CES. Their products aren’t new to The Gadgeteer, we’ve reviewed several over the years. I quickly asked if I could review the ety8 earphones. They said yes and here is the review.

Tekkeon ET6000 ezSpeak Handsfree Bluetooth Speakerphone
I think most of us will agree that using handsfree solutions for talking on our mobile phones is much more convenient than not using a handsfree solution. Especially while driving. Fumbling with a phone when you are supposed to be focusing on the road is dangerous to you and others. But for one reason or another, not all of us like using Bluetooth headsets to remedy this problem. Now there is another solution to consider. Tekkeon’s ET6000 ezSpeak Handsfree Bluetooth Speakerphone can be clipped on your car’s sun visor, or used it in the office to make and receive calls with your Bluetooth enabled phone.

Cardo Systems scala-700 Bluetooth Headset
Ever since my review last year, my favorite Bluetooth headset has been Cardo Systems scala-500. This inexpensive headset is light weight, comfortable and easy to use. It’s not flashy like a lot of the latest headsets, but it gets the job done without making you sound like you are standing at the bottom of a well. Now Cardo Systems has a new headset: the scala-700. Let’s check it out.

Speck Products TechStyle-Puck 2nd Generation iPod Shuffle Case
Since when does the package need to resemble what is inside? I for one wouldn’t like fish-shaped sushi or a cow-shaped hamburger. So why do electronics cases have to be the same shape as the gadgets they protect? So when I saw that Speck made a toroid-shaped case for the Gen 2 iPod Shuffle, I thought it might be fun to give it a try.

Mvix MX-760HD Wireless HD Media Center
Last Spring, I had the opportunity to review the MV-5000U Multimedia Player from Mvix. Except for a couple issues like a noisy fan and no networking features, I really liked this device. It is one year later and we now have the MX-760HD. This unit addresses all of the complaints that I had with the first generation device and goes even further to add a few major enhancements.

Farkle Dice – Palm OS Game
I’m a bit of an odd-ball. I prefer Dr Pepper over colas. I prefer ‘Mythbusters‘ or ‘Good Eats‘ to ‘Survivor’ or ‘Desperate Housewives’. I even kinda like mini-vans and don’t like iPods so much. Worse, I prefer dice games to card games [hanging my head in shame]. I’ve always enjoyed a category of dice game called ‘10,000‘- although it has many other names, like ‘Cosmic Wimpout’.

5 Reasons Why I’m Not Buying An AppleTV
I’ve come to the conclusion that I won’t be buying an AppleTV for my own personal use. I may still buy one at some point to review if people keep asking me, but right now, here are the 5 reasons why I don’t want one… 1. I already have an MVIXUSA MX-760HD wireless media center.

Interesting and Annoying
I’ve been playing around with the Blackberry Pearl that I received yesterday. It has a slick interface (once you get used to the little track ball navigation method) that is growing on me. But here’s the thing that has me a bit peeved. I think I have to pay extra to use the data features.
