In my opinion, you can’t do much better than the Tapwave Zodiac2 when looking for a Palm OS device with every bell and whistle – other than built in WiFi. There is one area where Tapwave really dropped the ball however, and that was by not including software for Outlook synchronization. For some time I […]

The voting booth is now available for the Show Us Your Space Contest. Registration to the discussion forums is required for voting. My new 4th gen iPod has arrived in Columbus a day early! Usually FedEx delivers my packages here at my day job, but for some reason they tried to deliver it to my

Weekend Update I received an email from Apple confirming that my new iPod shipped today. So I should have a new toy next week. Yay! The only problem is that the electrical system on my truck has decided to go wonky, and I can’t use the iPod with the radio until it’s fixed. Boo! Rumor

Today, I ordered the iPAQ 4705 from eCost…and the total – including shipping – was $569.37. That’s pretty good, considering that eCost’s posted price was $649 (it lowers once you add the PDA to your basket), and I had heard that the final retail price might be as high as $699! :0PThe one downside is

I ordered a 40GB iPod last night. I figured it was my duty to upgrade my 1yr old 3rd gen model. ;o) Since I opted for the free engraving, it will be a few days before I receive it. I wonder if it will arrive before the fabled HP iPAQ HX4705 that I have on

Saturday Snippets I’ve chosen the 2 people to review the Axim battery and Dual Sim card. Thanks to all of you that volunteered. I received my Airport Express yesterday and plan to try it out this weekend. Cross your fingers that it’s not difficult to setup or use in a mixed environment. I pre-ordered the

The girly-girl in me wants to have my Motorola V60v encrusted in sparkly plum and green crystals. However, I am having trouble justifying the $200 (plus shipping) price tag, which is more than my phone cost. What’s a girl to do? Hmmm, I wonder if this company does their crystal magic to PDAs? I can

Calling all wannabe reviewers! I’m looking for two people that have good writing skills and a digital camera that can take excellent macro shots to review two products. Product 1: Replacement 3000 mAh battery for a Dell Axim X5 Pocket PC from Crayton Electronics. Product 2: Universal Twin SIM Adapter from Brando’s Workshop. If you

I found an interesting article today about tech myths. Covered are issues like whether opting out of spam will get you more spam or whether the Japanese Windows edition really uses Haiku for its error messages… “Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred.” Fun stuff! :0)

I am trying to decide if I could (or should) get a “super portable” computer to replace my PDA and my Fuji laptop. Here is the thing – most of the Palm programs that I really use also have desktop counterparts. So technically, I could buy a super portable, like the Sony Vaio U70/U50 or

Scott Jordan of SCOTTeVEST sent me a prototype of one of their newest products yesterday. I have to say that their product line is really going south… South of your waistline that is. They are hidden cargo pants! For those of you that mourned the loss of the Docker Mobile Pant, you’re going to love

Happy 4th of July everyone! My family is headed to the ranch where we will enjoy a couple days of 100 degree weather, if the forecasts are correct. It doesn’t look like we will be setting off any fireworks this year – we wouldn’t want to be responsible for a grass fire! :0/I hope that

Happy Friday! It’s a 3 day weekend for a lot of folks here in the US. Hope you all have a great time attending picnics and watching fireworks! I ordered an LCD Monitor last night. I opted for a Samsung 710N. Hope it was a good choice. I couldn’t pass up the 10% discount and

I’m in the market for a 17in LCD monitor with a digital input that I can use with both my PowerBook and PC. If I was independently wealthy, I’d run right out and buy one of Apple’s new HD Cinema Display’s. Alas, I’m not… Anyone care to share some advice with me? I want a
