Gear Diary

Now that I’m back in the Pocket PC camp, I’ve been trying to find some really cool software to install on my new HP2215. It has been awhile since I really paid attention to Pocket PC programs… So tell me, what are some MUST HAVE apps? I’m looking for a really good file manager, today […]

I would like to thank one particular Gadgeteer reader (who has asked to remain anonymous) for sending me the DVDs Amalie and Chicago from my Amazon wish list. This weekend we will have to pop some Orville Redenbacher’s Smart Pop KettleCorn (my fave) and enjoy movie night! :0)

There is a reason why I always get excited when Handmark comes out with an official Palm or Pocket PC version for one of my favorite games. Simply put, Handmark’s versions are the real deal and not someone’s idea of a “decent” substitute. Their colors are correct, their graphics are beautiful, their sounds (for PDAs

Well folks, I have decided to make a switch back to the Pocket PC (at least till I get to see Judie’s NZ90 CLIE this September). I just placed an order for the iPAQ 2215 with Amazon. I really missed not being able to use one after I had to send back the eval unit

Well we are back from Hawaii, and we had a wonderful time! While we were there, I picked up what has got to be the coolest watch I have ever owned, the Nixon Delta. Granted, this watch is a little bit big on my wrist, but look at its features: barometer, altimeter, temperature, elevation tracking,

Wow, this has sure been a chaotic week! I just looked and noticed that I hadn’t entered a new diary entry in 7 days. Where did this week go anyway? My goals this weekend are to get really acquainted with the Zaurus c760 (I’ve not had any real time with it yet), setup a new

Did you hear the one about a teen that snapped a picture of his would-be abductor with a camera enabled mobile phone? You gotta love it! Does anyone else have any good stories about how they use the camera on their mobile phone or PDA? I am sure you all remember my McLaren F1 encounter

Everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am! Among other things, I’m going to take a test drive on a CityMantis electric bike (review coming soon) and play with my new Sharp Zaurus C760. Those of you that might have read my FlexUSB review and were thinking about buying one, will be interested in

Aloha! Well, my family will be saying that again on Monday. Yes, it is almost time for our annual trek to the beautiful state of Hawaii, and once again, to Waikiki beach. After spending spring break in freezing cold Scotland and then suffering through another scorching West Texas summer, we are ready to get to

VeriChat, by PDA Apps, is the shiznit. If you have a connected Palm and you want to be able to chat with your friends and co-workers via Yahoo!, ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger & MSN Instant Messenger, then this is the program that can do it. You can log into one or all the services at

Help Wanted! I’m looking for some people interested in reviewing the following brand new hard cases from Innopocket: Toshiba e740, Palm Zire 71, Palm Tungsten C, HP iPAQ 1910, and Sony CLIE NX series. If you own one of these PDAs, have a digital camera that takes good macro (close up) pictures and are a

Anyone else out there enjoy watching TV shows like Trading Spaces or While You Were Out on The Learning Channel (TLC)? I think it’s really fun to see how people remodel different rooms. I keep thinking that I would like remodel the Gadgeteer Control Center (my office) this year, and thought it would be fun

Remember when I said that the next vehicle I bought would have an in-dash GPS system? Well, after reading all of the pros and cons our Gadgeteer readers were kind enough to post and after trying out the Destinator software in my iPAQ, I became convinced that mobile (and therefore – transferrable and portable) is

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Here in West Texas, we are enjoying our second day of rain and under 80 degree weather – which if you knew how dry and hot we usually are, you would understand this is a very good thing. :0) I received a package from Brando today,
