I recently purchased a Treo 650 and like most people, I needed a case to protect my new toy. Having purchased cases from EBcases before, I quickly went to their site to see what was available for my Treo and I was presently surprised by the eNovo case. The eNovo case is a hard leather […]

Many new cars come with GPS navigation systems. But what if you don’t have one? Adding it might not be practical-perhaps you drive more than one vehicle, travel and rent often, or just don’t want an expensive piece of electronics permanently and visibly stuck to your dash. Today’s smartphones and PDAs are powerful enough to

It’s no secret that I love items with a slight militaristic flavor, and it is common knowledge that olive green is one of my favorite clothing colors.

My first Bluetooth headset review was of Bluetake’s BT400 G5 Bluetooth headset. Like most products, there were things I liked, and things I didn’t.

I’ve recently become interested in Bluetooth headsets. Why? Two reasons mainly. The first reason is that my phone of choice right now is the Treo 650. It’s not the most svelte of phones… Being able to keep the phone in my bag or pocket, while holding a conversation is preferred to holding it in my

One of the side benefits to carrying a Palm or Windows Mobile platform PDA is that these devices can also function as digital music players.

I have reviewed four different Bluetooth mice in the last couple of years. First there was Bluetake’s BT500. Next it was the Mouse BT from MacMice, then ThinkOutside’s Stowaway Travel Mouse and finally Bluetake’s BT510.

In September 2005, my daily driver PDA was an HP iPAQ hx-4700 and my mobile phone was the Samsung i550, a Palm OS device that was never technically released in the US. I thought that I was satisfied with the combination of the two devices – enjoying the best of both PDA worlds in a

We have had several WiFi finder reviews posted here on The Gadgeteer. They are great little tools that make finding a WiFi hotspot an easy task. At least easier than the chore of booting up your laptop and checking manually for available networks. Of the 3 reviews (Canary, Kensington and Smart ID) that I’ve personally

Bluetooth headset reviews have been a long time coming from me, because I use a carrier that has been notoriously slow to release compatible devices.

The house that we live in was built in 1928, but it had a major remodel in 1995. One of the many selling points when I purchased it in 1997 was the built-in stereo speaker system throughout, which was controlled by a multi-knobbed box which was attached to the wall by a bundle of cables.

Last year I reviewed Bluetake’s i-PHONO BT420EX Bluetooth headphones. Although they had great sound, they had a funky design that really didn’t appeal to me. I don’t mind looking geeky, but there’s a point that none of us need to cross ;o) You can see what I mean if you follow the link above to

In 1901, the United States’ first speed limit laws were introduced in Connecticut, allowing 12 miles per hour in town and 15 MPH in the country.
