It’s been raining nano accessories at Gadgeteer HQ lately. The folks from AVA sent me their silicon LAVA case and their ELEMENTS Chrome case. The silicon case is hourglass shaped, is very thick and is available in quite a few bright colors. The chrome case is really made of plastic, but it’s a two piece […]

Tonight I had a strange experience with Linked In, the web-based networking tool. But before I tell my story, let me give you some background first… Back in 2004, I was sent an invitation to join a contact’s network. I joined “just to be nice” more than anything, and for the longest time my inviter

It’s such a cliché, but lately it does seem like time is just flying by. 2006
is already half gone, so it has been almost two years since I reviewed the
Pimp Star Performer Watch, the timepiece from the company with the NSFW*

I recently received some rather interesting accessories from GreenBulb. The first item is the itty bitty SS Mirror that can be placed on a digital camera, PDA, cell phone, really anywhere that the user wants a discreet looking-glass for checking her makeup or smile. My PPC-6700 came with one of these built in. I think

Are you one of those types of people that obsesses about your weight? Are you always counting calories and reading the nutritional content on the foods you eat, before you take a bite? I’ll admit that I share some of those traits. I don’t obsess about my weight, but I religiously check labels before buying food. I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic over a year ago. As a result, I’m very conscience about the carb / sugar content in my food.
I think that many HTC Apache owners would agree that they use their PDA Phone without a headset more often than not. Even though the 6700 is a little brick, it can comfortably be held to the face when talking without making its owner look like a complete tool. For that reason alone, I think

After learning last week that the DualCor would not have Wifi or Bluetooth radios built into their forth coming cPC device, both Judie and I pretty much marked them off our list of must review gadgets. I mean, who the heck is going to pay $2000 for a device with that handicap? Not I… Now

I have always loved pockets. At six, I swore off jeans as their pockets couldn’t hold the quantity of stuff that I wanted. Although I have since taken jeans back up, albeit after a decade long protest, I continue to be fascinated with ever better means of storage. Not long ago I stumbled upon the

Update: Shortly after this review went live, Mack Lipkin M.D., an NYU professor and the Director of the Division of Primary Care in the Department of Medicine at NYU, was kind enough to write me.

As is the way with most electronic items, flash memory cards are getting more and more miniscule. Although the smallest ones usually come with an SD adapter, keeping one handy is not always convenient. Two of the tiniest formats available, MMC Micro and T-flash, are the special targets of the new USB Geek Q-Reader that
