I’ve had the Acer Ferrari 1000 for 3 weeks now. During that period I’ve not had much time to put it through its paces. I’ve found it a bit difficult to use a Windows machine as my main computer when I’m currently a Mac user and all my apps / email are on the Mac. […]
I want to start out by saying that I typically do not use a Bluetooth headset all that often. I’m not one of those people that you see in the grocery store walking around with a blinking plastic blob hanging out of their ear. The only time I really use a headset is when I’m driving to and from my day job. The headset that I’ve been using for awhile now has been the Cardo Systems scala-500. I’ve found this headset to be both comfortable to wear and easy to use. A few weeks ago, Bluetake approached me to see if I might like to test the BT400GL.

I have owned almost every wireless-capable Palm/Treo since the days of
the Vx and Omnisky. The routine is always the same, quick, buy the
newest Palm Phone when it comes out, laugh at everyone else who can’t
buy one because they are sold out, and then spend the next few weeks
deciding if it needs a case and what case to buy.

I like music. I like to listen to the rhythmic and melodic flow of a well-written piece of music. However, it doesn’t matter how well a piece is written or how high a bitrate you encode it at if you don’t have anything good to listen to it with. I’ve drifted through many sets of earphones, headphones, earbuds, etc., trying to find the right pair to use. Since I was given the chance to review a pair for The Gadgeteer, I think I’ve found them.

Until our toys, gadgets and electronic thinga-majigs can be powered by magic fairy dust, we’ll continue to be slaves to batteries. I’m sure most of us have been in a situation where one of our favorite devices ran out of juice. It seems like every time this happens, a battery charger is no where to be found. What if you could remove the battery from your device, pull off one end and stick it into a USB port to charge? Sounds farfetched doesn’t it? Well guess again, because Moixa Energy is bringing you the USBCell.

When I returned home from CES, I found quite a few packages waiting for me. One of them was a White 13″ Macbook Hardcase from Rhinoskin. Since I don’t own the 13″ Macbook, I’m offering to send this $60 case to one of you! All you need to do is to agree to write a

My 750v is really getting on my nerves. If you remember (and read yesterday’s report…), I’ve been having a few issues with it this trip. Well this morning the alarm I had set to wake me at 7am didn’t go off. :o[ I thought Microsoft fixed the problem with alarms not firing. If I can’t count on a smartphone to help me keep the appointments that I set, then I really don’t want to be using that particular smartphone. So, I think I’ll be looking elsewhere soon. iPhone maybe? ;o) I need something sooner than 6 months out though.

Before we get into the report for the day, I wanted to answer a question about the gear I brought with me on the trip. I am a light packer. Probably too light. I almost always find myself wishing I had remembered to bring along X or Y.
