I’m still using the last external hard drive that I had the opportunity to review back in July of 2005. That was the Seagate Portable USB 2.0 drive. It’s been my 100gb backup drive for my desktop computer (iMac) all this time. Today I’m going to tell you about Seagate’s latest portable USB drive called the FreeAgent Go.

I just (1 minute ago) received an email from Palm with a link to a software update for Treo 680 AT&T / Cingular customers. Although I am an AT&T customer, I’m not sure that this upgrade will work with my unbranded 680. If any of you install it, let us know how it works out.

This month, my review focuses on another program that has a
large following in the PDA community…PhatWare’s
PhatNotes. In earlier reviews on note-taking programs, I
mentioned that the PocketPC was made for note-taking. Most
note applications are singular in their focus of taking
notes. PhatWare took that one concept step further,
really giant steps forward, in how notes are taken and
organized. The folks at PhatWare utilize the database
approach to organizing data, syncing it to outside platforms and
adding functionality within the “note” like voice or images.
All in all, PhatNotes sets the standard for note-taking and
others to emulate. Let me try to explain how I’ve come to
this conclusion…

Current and potential Sprint customers will be interested in Palm’s latest Smartphone. The Palm Treo 755p is an updated version of their Treo 700p which was released last summer. Running Palm OS, the 755p includes the same physical restyling that came with the 750 and 680 GSM phones which were released last fall. Is the smaller form factor and various software changes enough for 700p owners to justify an upgrade to this new model? Hopefully this review will help answer that question…

Most personality profiles have four major categories that they think we fall into. Usually we are ‘mostly’ one category, then partially another… which results in twelve general types like the Zodiac signs!

In my mind I have two classifications of gadgets: ones that are tools and ones that are toys. Most of my favorite gadgets are both.
In preparation for a upcoming review, I needed to buy an infrared thermometer. I debated buying one of these “touchless” thermometers a few years ago, but eschewed the idea because the few available for consumers were expensive, bulky and rather ugly. Professional models, like the Fluke 63, were less unsightly but even more expensive and cumbrous.
