Gear Diary

I have Google’d it to death, but I can’t find any more information about the Nokia 7200 GSM/GPRS mobile phone pictured at this (French) site. Supposedly it will be available October 28. Even though the phone has plenty of cool features, I am most intrigued with the color coordinated “style packs” and “textile covers”. Hmmmm…if […]

How many of you are aware that after Nov. 24, a new federal regulation will allow us, for the first time, to keep our cellphone numbers when we change mobile services? This will affect all mobile phone companies and will in effect give us as consumers a much more powerful position when we are considering

It’s almost 11:30pm, and I really should be in bed, but I just had to install the new iTunes for Windows. I’ve been waiting for this for a long while, and now that it’s here, I think I’m in love! I only had a Powerbook for a few months, but in that time I really

As a solution to address the battery life issues that some T3 reviews are reporting, Palm has sent us a product called Power To Go. It’s a clip-on sled that is compatible with the Tungsten T, Tungsten T2, Tungsten W, Zire 71, m500 Series, i705, and m130 devices. According to the specs, one full charge

We just got home – what a fantastic trip! Steve had a great CT Scan at MD Anderson, the Gators won, and Jeff Gordon came in within the top 5…so we bought a Powerball ticket! HA! I wrote up a quick recap of game day – it’s totally non-gadget related so consider yourself warned…

I’m back from Seattle, Washington. What an exciting trip, Mobius was a blast! But as always, it’s great to be back home to my own bed and pillow (who else out there hates feather filled pillows like I do?) I also can’t believe how much the leaves have turned in the few days since I

I am on my way to Houston…and then to Baton Rouge for the LSU/Florida game. We’ve been invited to several tail-gate parties, and I can’t wait to partake in some yummy Cajun Cookin’ Of course I will be there to root for the Gators, though. ;0) Julie is on her way to Washington State for

It’s really true what they say, you can’t keep a good man down. Or in this case, you can’t keep a good man and his application down! I’m happy to say that Pocket TV Browser for the Palm and Pocket PC is back! I was so bummed when Jeff Parsons (the developer of Pocket TV

Where did this weekend go? I wasted much of it on the couch in my office, playing Bubble Shooter 2 by Absolutist. My favorite version is “Strategy,” which I play in expert mode with slippy bubbles, graphics high, sound off, and effects low. No clue what I am talking about? Check out the game. Just

Since I have 2 trips coming up in the next 2 weeks, I’ve been on the look out for some great Pocket PC games to keep me entertained while waiting in airports and during flights. So far I’ve found 3 great titles that I wanted to share with you. Pacman fans will flip over PDAPacXtreme

One time when I was driving around, my car ran out of gas. Yes, I knew that I was running low on fuel since my warning light had come on some time before, but I figured that there should still be a decent reserve left – more than likely enough to get me to my

It is great to be home! One of the nice homecoming surprises awaiting me was a SCOTTeVEST fleece jacket. With fall rapidly approaching, I had been wanting a new fleece to replace the Nautica one that I have had for years. This SeV fleece is easily the nicest I have ever owned. Of course I

There’s no place like home! Judie and I each made it back to Texas and Indiana (respectively) last night. Each of us had a shiny new Sony CLIE UX50 waiting for us upon arrival. Boy this device is TINY! We’re going to each use this new PDA exclusively for 2 weeks and then post a

It’s 9am, the time my flight was supposed to depart from La Guardia airport. Unfortunately, it was canceled due to hurricane Isabel. Judie took off to JFK at about 5:30am this morning. I have a new flight at 3pm this afternoon. So, I’m going to wander around Times Square a little this morning and then

Judie is already on her way to the Big Apple this morning, while I leave for the airport in a couple hours. I’ve never been to New York, let alone TechXNY(formerly named PC Expo) so this should be fun. That is as long as the weather doesn’t get nasty with hurricane Isabella! We’ll try to
