My love of handheld gadgets doesn’t end with PDAs, it extends to portable gaming devices as well. I’ve owned quite a few over the years… The original Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance SP, Atari Lynx, Sega GameGear, Game Park GP32 and now the Nintendo DS. Everyone has been excited
Mike over at RoadWired sent Julie their latest gear bag – The Roadster Convertible. When Julie asked me if I would like to review the bag, I said simply, “Yes.” I like to keep my answers simple — besides I really like all of the RoadWired gear I already own. Julie forwarded the description of

A funny thing happened when my husband recently ordered a watch case off of eBay. I got an email (since our joint PayPal account is in my name) from the seller, Bob McDonald, saying that he knew me from the Gadgeteer – Hey, it’s a small world after all. So I wrote back and said

I didn’t do the after Thanksgiving shopping thing this year. Actually I never do that… ;o) Instead I’ve planted myself in the basement in front of my computer and am hard at work on at least 4 reviews (1 down, 3 to go) for our annual Gadgeteer Christmas review bundle. Look for Judie’s and my

Clarification added 12/04/04: The Razr V3 that I purchased was from Expansys-US. This means that the version I got was for the UK and came with the standard Motorola packaging and accessories.
