While we were in the UK this summer, I became one of the last people on the face of the earth to discover Sudoku, the numeric crossword puzzle. We were riding a train when Sarah passed over the newspaper she had been writing on, and I thought she just wanted help finding a word. Instead, […]

Just found an interesting little doodad in my mailbox today. The Earbud Clip from PKOH NYC. Basically it is a Lexan polycarbonate clip that allows you to easily secure your earbud cord around your audio device. Comes in a set of 4 for $9.95. — I’m hoping my Cingular Treo 650 will be delivered today.

I have been reviewing Slappa DVD and CD cases since last year, and in that time I have found them to be the best portable audio-video storage solutions I have ever used. Slappa’s attention to the smallest storage details – and the quality materials from which they make their cases – sets theirs apart from

Judie just recently reviewed the Milan leather jacket from SCOTTeVEST. This is a very nice update to their Version 3.0 Limited Edition Leather Jacket that I reviewed 2 years ago. It’s very nice, but also VERY expensive. What’s a gadgeteer to do when they really want a leather SCOTTeVEST jacket, but don’t quite have the

There are times when it pays to be a master of subtlety about how one’s gadgets are transported; times when a briefcase is too much, cargo pants are too casual and obvious logos would be out of place. For those times when an understated way to transport or conceal devices is needed, there is the

Finding the most convenient way to listen to the tunes on your Apple iPod, while in your vehicle can sometimes be a daunting task. Do you lay it beside you on the seat and route the audio through your car stereo using a cassette adapter? Or maybe you use a separate FM transmitter like the

Back when I was using a Fuji P2110 laptop as my main computer, I would get concerned because its underside always seemed to be so hot to the touch. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t unusual to have an occasional blue screen reset after periods of hard use. I suspected that these “blue screens of death” were

I’ve been using the PPC-6700 for a couple of days now, and I must say that so far it is a keeper! I have had a few software incompatibilities which I hope will eventually be rectified as developers get used to WM5 quirks, but otherwise it has been smooth sailing. So far I have loaded

Now for another episode in “Julie’s Search for a Smartphone”… The Nokia 6682 isn’t for me. Yeah it’s a great phone with lots of features, but using it as both my phone *and* PDA lacks a lot of oomph. So, I just bought a used Treo 650 (GSM) from eBay. While the Treo doesn’t totally

If you have purchased an Apple iPod nano, you know that it is almost impossible to avoid scratching this digital audio player. I speak from experience, as after having mine for only one day, the clear plastic layer covering the display had scuffs and the chrome back plate had thin scratches all over it. Being

I’ve covered some great leather cases for the HP iPAQ 4500 series in the last year or so, but only recently have there been a selection of cases available for the iPAQ when equipped with its most useful add-on accessory – the extended battery. Even though the extended battery takes an otherwise thin (0.6″) PDA

Is anyone out there contemplating the purchase of a new Apple iPod or other pricey Mac product? I received a customer appreciation coupon for $30 off (purchase of $300 or more) that I would be willing to pass on to the first person that emails and asks for it. The only catch is that since
