This software review is on PhatWare’s CalliGrapher which has to be on the “must-have” list of utilities for any serious PDA junkie’s collection. Setting aside the Casio B.O.S.S. I used only briefly, I consider my first handheld to be the Apple Newton MessagePad. What was the big attraction of the MessagePad device? It was its handwriting-to-text translation, the earliest ancestor of today’s CalliGrapher.

It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve not reviewed a
BlackBerry device in over 6 years. The
last device that I reviewed was the
950,
which was an email only device shaped like a pager. Back in 2001, BlackBerry
products did not have telephony capabilities. These devices were for one purpose and one

Treo 680
and 750
in my
drawer o’ phones, or will it end up there itself? You will have to keep reading
to find the answer.

For the longest time leather and leather type cases have been designed to protect and carry the phone for the average cell phone user. I’m sure you have seen them out there.

Whenever I travel, I make it a personal challenge to pack as little as possible, while still including all my most important gear. Usually the things that take up the most space in my carry-on bag are all of the AC adapters that are needed to keep my gadgets running while I’m away from home.
I am a huge fan of white LEDs. Light Emitting Diodes are bright, compact, and require little power, which makes them perfect for small spaces. While reorganizing my utility closet last winter, I became frustrated that it did not have any built-in source of light. Briefly contemplating the idea of rewiring of my house, I decided to look for a battery powered light source made to stick to a wall or ceiling.
