I’ve recently become interested in Bluetooth headsets. Why? Two reasons mainly. The first reason is that my phone of choice right now is the Treo 650. It’s not the most svelte of phones… Being able to keep the phone in my bag or pocket, while holding a conversation is preferred to holding it in my […]

Brando sent me a product that doesn’t quite fit into what we typically review here on The Gadgeteer. But, being the good sport that I am, I thought I’d give it a try anyway. The Stretching Hula Hoop is sort of a cross between a Slinky and an old school hula hoop from the late

REVIEW – Not long ago, Julie and I were looking at the Crumpler site, each with a different bag in mind. In my ongoing search for the “end-all be-all hold-all” gearbag, I was looking for something with lots of pockets that could organize my stuff neatly on overnight or weekend trips. Julie was still caught

Okay – I just did something that I technically shouldn’t have been able to do. As many of you know, I am a Sprint customer and San Angelo has only local CDMA & Analog vendors – Sprint, Cellular One and a couple of local resale companies. According to coverage maps, we have very good GSM

Next it was the Mouse BT from MacMice, then ThinkOutside’s Stowaway Travel Mouse and finally Bluetake’s BT510. At the end of each of my reviews I always had the same complaint regarding the fact that there wasn’t

In September 2005, my daily driver PDA was an HP iPAQ hx-4700 and my mobile phone was the Samsung i550, a Palm OS device that was never technically released in the US. I thought that I was satisfied with the combination of the two devices – enjoying the best of both PDA worlds in a

Bluetooth headset reviews have been a long time coming from me, because I use a carrier that has been notoriously slow to release compatible devices. In late 2005 the stars aligned and Sprint finally offered the PPC-6700, a BT enabled PDA phone which I was eager to purchase. All that remained was to find a

A few years ago I suggested to my Dad that he purchase a WebTV box so that he could surf the Internet and send emails. Not being very computer literate, I thought this would be a good solution for him. It turns out that I was wrong. Mainly because the service was slow (dial up)
