Gear Diary

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

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

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.

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

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
