Gear Diary

Check out the very first Pocket PC TV show and a review of the SilverSlider 5 by yours truly! The show is a 17MB download in .WMV format with a running length of 25min. I didn’t have a camcorder, so I had to resort to using my Canon S110 to take 25sec clips to comprise […]

Well, Alex slipped a surprise in my inbox this morning: a working copy of PI3.0….it is sweeeeeet! Almost everything works in this beta version, but “Alex the Perfectionist” is saying it’s not quite as tweaked as he wants… So far I am very impressed with what I am seeing. I think you all will be,

Okay…I am getting excited! Alex Kac, the brain behind Pocket Informant sent me a friendly e-mail the other day, supposedly to chat about our shared views on our Casio E-200s. But, at the bottom of the e-mail were two “teaser” screen shots for PI3.0! The closest date Alex will give me is “soon,” so if

I pre-ordered the Sony T615 last night, so look for a review soon! I’m really excited about this new color Palm. I doubt if it will make me want to give up my iPAQ, but I think it’s going to replace my Prism in my gear bag! I also wanted to announce that CES trip

Yeah, I know I said we’d have the CES trip report posted today… But, as usual real life got in the way. The article is well underway though and will be posted for sure tomorrow!

I’m baaaack! Las Vegas was fun, but as the saying goes, there’s no place like home! Look for a trip report complete with pix on monday and reviews as normal starting again on tuesday.

We have had nothing but trouble trying to get connected to the web, so most likely there won’t be a CES report until Monday. We have taken lots of pictures, so you can expect to see a little bit of what we’ve experienced when we post our wrap-up. Last night, Julie and I saw the

Julie and I are having a great time here at CES – not so much from any FAB product announcements though. We’re just having fun looking at everything! We took turns crawling into a Formula One race car – and let me tell you, those drivers must be tiny! :0P We got to see a

Hey Peeps! Here I sit in the CES press room. Can you say HUGE? Wow, this show beats COMDEX for sheer size. It is tech lust at its finest. :o) The only thing is, I’ve not seen anything super duper cool yet? I was really disappointed that Handspring didn’t have a booth showing up the

Just in case any of you weren’t aware of it, Julie and I are best friends. Would you like to know what my best friend got me for Christmas? Julie bought a Louis Vuitton purse, just so Johnny at Vaja could take it apart and build me PDA cases out of it – the first

Hey Peeps! I’m getting excited about next week! Judie and I are headed to Sin City (Las Vegas, NV) to attend the Consumer Electronics Show. I’ve never been to the city or the show before, so it should be an experience! You can look forward to a trip report after we get back! :o)

Here is a “heads up” for those of you that live around the Austin area…the 7th of January is the next Austin Pocket PC User’s Group Meeting. I will be there, and would love to see you! I will post as soon as I am sure of the location…Also, Julie & I will be attending

Judie said she wanted to see my resolutions, so here goes! 1. Write my 500th review (only 199 to go!) 2. Get more proficient with PHP so I can write even better code for the site 3. Go to at least 4 or 5 techy events 4. Get a new cell phone! 5. Start playing

New Years Resolutions: 1. I will not spend 80% of my expendable income on PDA related items (I will spend 99%). 2. I will not spend every waking hour working on reviews (I will spend my sleeping hours, too). 3. I will finally install a TV in my office so that I know what everyone

Happy Holidays! I hope Santa comes thru with all the gadgets and gizmos that you wished for :o) Judie and I will be back with new reviews on Thursday.

Well, here we are on Christmas Eve…what a year. Were you good? If you were, maybe you’ll find something special in your stocking or under the tree tomorrow morning. I wish I would find a case that looks good and fits the Casio perfectly! ;0) Julie & I have agreed to take a couple of

I just purchasd a unique piece of equipment for my iPAQ, the LifeView Fly Jacket. Here is a blurb from the website: “This multimedia expansion ‘jacket’ for iPAQ handhelds offers more than just presentations on-the-go, it is a mobile multimedia solution for wide range of video purposes ranging from previewing full motion video to taking

I made an interesting discovery today – one that I think a lot of Casio e-200 owners might like to hear about: one of my favorite inexpensive styli actually fits in this brand new PDA – as if it were made for it! The Stylus Q for the Palm V fits perfectly in the e-200’s

I need some advice on a purchasing a notebook. I’m looking for something light weight, thin, with a great keyboard, and snappy performance. Of course, the ‘gotcha’ is that I don’t want to spend a ton of money on it. I’ll mostly be using it while on trips to check my email, surf the web,

I had a nasty surprise the other day…the charging cable for my Sony DSC-P1 digital camera died. It will be about $40 to replace through the Sony site – and then I think I will go ahead and list it on eBay. Unfortunately, this camera never took close-up photos as well as I wanted it
