Gear Diary

Alex Kac just sent me an e-mail saying that Pocket Informant 3.1 is out! Folks, this program just gets better and better…but there is something on the Handango page that caught my eye: “We are not yet compatible with Palm OS based devices (Sony Clie, Handspring, etc..).” Not yet? Does that mean that it might […]

I just received 3 new Clie NR70 cases from Vaja. OH. MY. GOD. The Dyna case is a total work of art, and the two smooth brown leather cases I got (one flip and one book style) are just beautiful. Look for a joint review from Julie and me soon…

If your sense of humor tends towards the macabre, as mine does, and you enjoy word games such as Hangman, then you really need to check out AmpuMan by BAZN Soft. Here’s the deal: Instead of adding stick figure body parts every time you miss a letter guess until your little guy hangs; in Ampuman

Ok folks, Judie and I want to hear why you think you’re a real Gadgeteer! Send us your bios, and pictures, and we’ll pick our favorite the first day of every month. You’ll be featured on your own page! You’ll be famous! You’ll need a body guard! ….. Well, maybe not… but ya never know!

How many of you actually surf this site using your PDA? For those of you that do, here is a link that may (or may not) make things a little easier for you… It’s a simple front page for mobile devices. The links from this page are not formatted for mobile devices, but this will

I just realized that last week The Gadgeteer posted its 600th review / article! Wooo hooo! I’ll make a guess that we’re probably the only independent tech/gadget/PDA site that has that many reviews online. If not, I’d sure like to hear about others :o) We have a new feature coming that will be announced later

I knew something like this would eventually happen, and today it did…My fiance and I went to the theater to see Windtalkers, and as we pulled up we spotted a McLaren F1 in the Tinseltown parking lot. For those of you that know what I am talking about, you also know how rare these exotic

For those of you that want to be able to synchronize your schedules with a significant other or a friend, take a look at this program. Unfortunately, it is only available if both of you are using a Palm…looks like a cool application, though. Julie and I are going to give it a try –

Julie told you about the “Kid’s Picks” CD that she recieved from Pocket PC Films, so I thought I would mention that in the mail today I received the “Camp and Vamp” CD. I need to make a fresh bowl of Orville Redenbacher’s Smartpop! My disc includes, “The Little Shop of Horrors,” “The Vampire Bat,”

If you are a fan of old movies and TV shows, and would love to be able to watch them on your Pocket PC, you need to check out Pocket PC Films. This company is selling movies on CDrom that can easily be installed on your PPC. They sent me their Kids Picks CD ($9.99)

The forums are back up… Everyone have a good weekend! :o)

I’ve turned off the POSTING ability to the Discussion Forums temporarily while I try to fix a corruption problem. While posting tonight’s review, Judie noticed that a giant chunk of forums had just disappeared! I’m going to do a restore tomorrow morning which will put everything back as it was at 1am today (thursday). Anything

phillip torrone just sent me links to his Pocket PC Summit 2002 report. If you weren’t able to make it, this is a great place to look for tons of pictures! Hopefully next year Julie and I will get to go! Also, while I am on the subject of phillip…I have had a chance to

For those of you interested in a plastic hard screen protector or belt holster for your 3100, 3600, 3700 or 3800 iPAQ, I’ve just updated the iHolster / iGuard iPAQ review.

Has anyone out there tried to make their own PVR (Personal Video Recorder) like the ReplayTV or TIVO? I have a ReplayTV, but could actually use a 2nd one. I’m toying with the idea of building a PC driven unit. But it has to be super super quiet and small… Any Thoughts? Advice?
