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

Unpacking the DualCor cPC Engineering Sample… Nothing is going to jostle this baby! The treasure chest… I am sure that the final version box will be quite glossy – with photos of some self-satisfied user smiling as they hold their cPC. Hey this was unexpected! A Rhinoskin cPC branded pouch…nice! My long-awaited cPC and it’s

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

easily accessible, but the Gadget Brando 4in1 Key Ring LED Light
Pen adds a few extra perks that may make owning one even more

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?
