Gear Diary

I’m on my way to Texas tomorrow to visit Judie and her family. So this is just a heads up that we’re taking a little break and won’t be posting any new reviews till tuesday night.

Did you realize that the NR70V’s soft graffiti area is skinnable?!! Well it is, and I have been playing with the skins from this site. If you come up with a cool skin – send it to me! :0)

Everyone be sure to check out WirelessReport’s special Women of Wireless profile series. This week, they talk to Judie!

If you have ever been interested in developing content for flash-enabled devices, you should definitely check out the new book by phillip torrone, et al, which will be available May 17. Here is the blurb that Amazon posted about him: “Phillip Torrone, Director at Fallon Worldwide, is one of the undisputed leading developers, designers, and

Everyone likes free stuff right? Well here’s your chance to get a free batch of screen protectors for your favorite PDA. Yes, all you have to do is pay shipping and handling. Check the link for full details.

I am having so much fun choosing software for my new NR70V and viewing the programs on its high resolution screen! One PIM replacement definitely worth mentioning would be Action Names! This program uses the Clie’s entire screen – including the soft grafitti area – and it looks amazing! The program is pretty awesome, too.

Just received an email from SonyStyle that my NR70V has shipped and will be delivered Monday! YAY! Now I won’t have to be jealous of Judie anymore ;o) In other news, The Gadgeteer moved to a dedicated server as of yesterday afternoon. We were getting a little too big for our britches so to speak.

I got my Clie NR70V today! YAY! I am in the process of choosing and loading software – trying to get it to the same (or as close as possible) usability I had with my Pocket PC. As when I do all my PDA reviews, the Clie will be my Daily Driver for the next

I just got word from Amazon that my new Clie will be shipping soon. Although they are showing it as shipping within 24 hours, my confirmation has a May 6th delivery date. Whatever. Either way, it is still more information than Sony has bothered to give Julie – and she ordered directly from their site!

I just successfully setup a 3 computer network in my house and just had to share my self pat on the back with everyone ;o) After the nightmare of my last attempt this past weekend, I was very surprised that this attempt went so smoothly. Reinstalling XP Pro really did the trick. So now I

Hey folks! Sorry for not posting a new review last night. I spent the weekend offline (not intentionally) and ended up having to reinstall XP Pro. Not a fun time let me tell you!Good news though, tonight we’ll have 5 Sony CLIE T Series case reviews posted. So get out your reading glasses and tune

phillip torrone just e-mailed me with a link to his newest toy…my question of whether he has wiped out on it or not was answered with his saying that he had almost been hit by a car! phillip, phillip, phillip! I bet that there are those of you out there (self included) that would love

Notebook buying update: I made my choice, placed an order and should have my new machine in my hot little hands later this afternoon! What did I buy? A Titanium PowerBook G4. Yes, I’m ready to dip my toes in the world of Macs! What made me chose a Mac over a standard Windows notebook?

If you would like to have the look of a Windows XP desktop on your Pocket PC, be sure to check out XPPC. This program replaces your Today screen and offers some interesting twists to the classic Pocket PC interface. I am giving it a try – but I am having trouble figuring out how

I am getting excited about receiving my new Clie…so I have a question for all of you Handera users: What programs allow you to utilize the soft grafitti screen’s freed-up space? I can’t wait to give it a try!

Mark Hammill, creater of the iPAQ Antenna Stylus that I reviewed last week, sent me an announcememnt this morning telling about an offer for all of you iPAQ 3800 series owners: For $143.95 (discounted from $184), you get an iPAQ Antenna stylus, a Silver Slider 5, and an iPocket Bungee – not a bad way

What does everyone think about the OQO (5″ x 3″ x 1″ WinXP PC)? Will you buy one when they are available? Depending on the screen quality and system performance, I’m pretty sure I would snap one up right this minute if I had the chance. Something like this would make the perfect tool for

I just had the most excellent birthday of my life…for many reasons! YAY! I would like to thank all of you for your e-mails and postings telling me “Happy Birthday,” and you can look for some interesting reviews in the near future, because YES, the gadget-gods did smile on me! :0)

Everyone please join me in wishing Judie a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today!!! Click HERE to send her your greetings!

I’m thinking about buying a notebook again. Yeah, I know… I said that before. I keep going back and forth about buying one. Now I’m even thinking that maybe I want to buy a notebook as a desktop replacement. My question is, how many of you out there are using notebook computers as your main
