Gear Diary

OK – I received the Casio e-200 today, and even though I never thought I would utter these words, I have to admit that I am very impressed so far…Will the Casio replace my iPAQ? I don’t know…yet. Since I will be using the Casio exclusively while I prepare for the review, I should have […]

Hi all! I want to pose a question… How many people are interested in reviews like the Bit Char-G Micro Radio Controlled car like I did recently? Are ‘toy’ reviews interesting to you, or do you want us to stick with mobile electronics, PDA, accessory type reviews? Drop me an email and let me know…

Well, Julie and I had a blast in San Jose! We got to explore San Fransico with eric Levine of smaller.com fame (and more recently of the Microsoft Pocket PC site) and Tim Warner from PDA Life. I tried falafel for the first time, and enjoyed schwarma in a very unpretentious Mediterranian restaraunt on Haight

Judie and I are flying to San Jose, CA today to go play with Sharp’s new Linux PDA. I can’t wait to see it live as it looks really sexy in the pics I’ve seen so far! We’re also going to attend Internet Wireless World West, so it should be a fun trip! I’ve been

George Mosquera has created a Compact Flash sleeve that uses the new iPAQ cover-paq! George has slimmed the CF sleeve down until it is about the thickness of an original Silver Slider – and he has trimmed this sleeve to accept the new cover-paq’s swinging screen cover. This “Silver Slider 5”, as he is calling

This was a fun weekend for a change. I went to two movies: Harry Potter (love those books!) and Monster’s Inc. Both were a lot of fun! And tonight I’m finally going to sit down to watch Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace. Yes, I think I’m the only person in the universe that

So, how many of you are going to see the new Harry Potter movie this weekend? Julie saw it today – and I am taking my daughter and a couple of her friends to see it tomorrow. I can’t wait! I want to tell you about a particular game that I am thoroughly enjoying: Bob

I have received my iPAQ 3850, and I am having a lot of fun putting it through its paces. We should have a review up early next week, for those of you that are interested…and admit it – you are! ;0) School is eating me alive, these days – but there are a couple of

I love it when a software developer goes out of their way to add features to a program just for little ol’ me! Case in point, Biohazard Software. I saw that they had a date calculator app and downloaded it. I was very happy to find this for the Pocket PC because I’d been using

OK, for once I am giving everyone plenty of warning…October 15th. If you live anywhere near Austin, Texas – mark this day on your calendar! Beth Goza, with the Microsoft Pocket PC Team will be in Austin for a special gathering called the ‘Microsoft Mobile Experience User Group Tour’. Talk about Cool! She is traveling

Hello Peeps! I’ve recently been given the idea of creating a new page for this site where people can post different PDA modifications that they have preformed on their devices. This page can be just links to pictures and descriptions, or it can also be links to Do-It-Yourself instruction pages. How many of you would

Wow – what a crazy month! I think I will be able to stop and take a breath….soon! Is anybody else getting excited about the new iPAQs, Genios, and the other PDAs that might or might not be appearing this winter? I can’t wait to see (and play with) them all! I will be in

Who else is excited about the forth coming Toshiba Genio Pocket PC? I’m hoping that it will not have the multiple button pressing issue that the iPAQ has. I just wish it wasn’t so retro looking. Anyone else think it’s kinda ugly? I’ll probably change my mind once I actually get to see one in

It’s hard to believe that this year is now half over. Where the heck does time go? Most of my free time goes to working on this site. 🙂 So, my question for you; those of you that happen to check this page, what do you most like to see when you come to The

It’s been a long time coming, but I was finally able to get my hands on a Compaq Dual Slot PC Sleeve! My thanks go out to Dr. Richard T. Bell for a great tip about a company in England, Expansys, that was actually shipping before any U.S. companies even had these sleeves in stock!

I’m depressed… I wanted to go to PC Expo but won’t be able to. I can’t wait to read reports on the new Casio, HP and any other new PDAs to be released next week at the show. I love my iPAQ, but I’m ready to hop to the next device if something catches my

06/08/01 Well, I am about to kill two birds with one stone: I am keeping a promise to my daughter by taking her to Disney (Florida), and while there I will be testing out the Kodak mc³ for an upcoming review. This is a rather neat gadget – not only does it take digital pictures,

I know this is the world’s shortest notice…but if you are going to be in Dallas tomorrow, come to the Pocket PC FanFest!!! I’ll be there, and it would be fun to meet any of you that can be, too!
