Nokia N80 Smartphone

By / / Uncategorized / , , , / 12 Comments

The first time I saw pictures of the Nokia N80 back when it was
announced, I was thrilled. As soon as I saw the laundry list of
features, I knew I had to have it! I already had a Treo 650 with
Sprint, but the software was sometimes buggy and Sprint worked
poorly at my house. In the middle of July, I got a chance to leave
my Sprint contract without the termination fee, so I immediately
opened an account with T-Mobile and ordered a new N80 from
eBay.

I received an email from one of Sony’s PR people concerning their forthcoming Portable Reader System (PRS-500) eBook Reader device, which was first announced this past January at CES. According to this person, there has been quite a bit of confusion and misinformation floating around about this product. They would like to help dispel some

My search for a comfortable, easy to use, good sounding
Bluetooth headset to pair with my Treo 650, may have come to a
quick end. At least until something else comes along… After
reviewing 4 headsets in the last few months, I recently learned
about the Cardo Systems
scala-500 from one of my gadget buddies at my day job (Hello
Taire!). He highly recommended it, so I decided to test one out for
myself.

Newton Peripherals MoGo Mouse

Try as I might, I have never been able to fall in love with the
little joystick that sits surrounded by the “G”, “H” and “B” keys
on my Fujitsu laptop. That’s why I have been interested in finding
a small mouse which I could pack and bring along when traveling.
Oh, I’ve dallied with a few over the years, but the first one to
really catch my eye was announced at this year’s CES – the Newton
Peripherals MoGo Mouse.

Apologies in advance – these pictures were taken late last night and my lighting wasn’t the best. I spent much of yesterday afternoon and evening playing with the cPC – getting comfortable with it, configuring various settings, adding programs to both XP and WM5, figuring out work-arounds for the portions of the system that still

Speck Products MobileTune iPod FM Transmitter

By / / Uncategorized / , , , / 1 Comment

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.
