Pantech Duo (C810) Windows Mobile 6.0 Smartphone

By / / Uncategorized / , , , , / 22 Comments

Most people that read this site probably know that I’m a big fan of Palm OS and have been using a Treo for what seems like forever. A couple years ago I went through a whole
nightmare ordeal buying a SprintPCS Treo 650 that was hacked to run on the Verizon network. Then I moved to Cingular / AT&T,
got GSM Treo 650 and later a
Treo 680. As for the new
Centro, I haven’t purchased one yet and am not sure that I will. Why? Well, I seem to have found
my way back into the Windows Mobile camp by way of the
Pantech Duo smartphone from AT&T.

Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter WiFi Finder HS-20

It’s been three years since I reviewed my favorite WiFi scanner / finder, Canary Wireless’s Digital Hotspotter. I’ve reviewed other scanners, but always liked the Hotspotter best due to its one button super fast scanning ability. That’s why I was very happy when the folks at Canary Wireless sent me their 2nd generation Digital Hotspotter HS-20 to review.

As I read Julie’s review of the Timbuk2 messenger bag, I couldn’t help but think of my own choice in gear-hauling. The ‘2’ is a fine bag and the design possibilities are unlimited. I looked at such bags while I was shopping for a new hauler. I knew I didn’t want just a backpack or rucksack; they get tangled on furniture as you walk by and they are too big for everyday carry. I need room for a book, a sweater and a water bottle, not a sleeping bag and a tent.

I’ve reviewed more iPod silicone skin style cases than I care to remember or admit ;o) As a result, when a new company approaches me to review their skin case, I’m not all that excited about the prospect. ifrogz is a company that has sent me skins to review in the past. They actually offer one of the better products on the market in that genre, so my eyes didn’t immediately glaze over when I saw their email offer to review the Audiowrapz silicone case for the iPod nano 3G.

Tom Bihn Aeronaut, Packing Cubes and Organizer Pouches

By / / Uncategorized / , , , , , / 13 Comments

Last October I received a pile of cases and accessories from Tom Bihn. Over the years I’d reviewed several Tom Bihn products, all bought with my own hard earned cash – no review samples. Tom Bihn’s products are very good value I think, but a little expensive. When reviewing a case that represents days of toil in your day job, even the most tolerant of reviewers is likely to be a little more harsh. Tom Bihn’s stuff has always come out shining – not perfect, but always well worth the money.

Thrane BGAN Explorer 500 Satellite Terminal

We live in a world were the Internet and phone access is necessary for our business and personal lives. Most of us take the access we have for granted. When traveling, I cannot find a Hotspot everywhere. Most people are using 3G networks now that provide that much needed access. But, there are still a few places in our world where getting access to the internet is hard or even impossible. I have wondered about how
one would manage to get a connection in Iraq or Bosnia, or in the middle of Africa? Enter BGAN.
BGAN is short for Broadband Global Area Network, and it works thru the
Inmarsat Satellite network. Today I will be reviewing the Thrane Explorer 500 Portable Sat Terminal.
