JAMM Needs a freeHAND

Brandon Stelli from Just Another Mobile Monday, has posted a review on the freeHAND, a modified glove which holds a portable device on the back of the wearer’s hand. This looks like a great solution for anyone that needs “a pocket on the back of your hand.”

Review: The Skinny on the Crumpler Medium Skivvy Laptop Bag

I carry my laptop with me just about everywhere I go (let’s face it when you ride the train for an hour each way, you need something to entertain you). Because my laptop is such a critical part of my daily routine, I am always looking for new and improved ways to carry it. Anything [...]

My First “Pocket” PC – A Tribute to Clinton Sr.

[Judie's note: This article is also currently running on Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com!, and it can be viewed in the original format (with even larger pictures) there. If you haven't already checked out the many Windows Mobile software reviews on Clinton's site, then be sure to visit soon.] If you read my biographical information on [...]

The LTB 5.1 USB Headphones Review

Up until 3 months ago when I would play computer games (like Call of Duty 2 and Counter Strike) using just a normal pair of earbuds, which worked fine, but I wanted something a little better. LTB produce a pair of 5.1 headphones that connect up over USB, and they sent me a pair to [...]

Forget Burning Batteries, Burning BlackJacks!

� My Treo 750 would get warm when using it for over 30mins of continuous web surfing, and my BlackJack is exactly the same. One thing I never really did with my Treo was use it as a modem. I did occasionally, but not for an extended period. Since getting my BlackJack and MacBook Pro [...]

A Joyous Holiday! (for some…)

I did not know that today was Pack Rat Day! I admit sometimes late at night (or early morning), I’m mentally scanning the memory banks of my tired brain wondering where I last saw that spare Cat-5 cable or the USB cable extender… surely the local all night drug or grocery store doesn’t carry electronic [...]

The Hunt for Red RAZR

I posted on this at Smartphone Thoughts�as well. It seems that once again Motorola has lost its way in the mobile phone market. I say this with some sadness because Motorola always made my favorite cell phones (when we called them that). I have lost count of how many Motorola cell phones I have owned [...]

The Belkin Compact Surge Protector Review

Can you ever have enough electrical outlets in your home office? Perhaps – if you had a hand in designing their layout when your house was built. But for those of us who weren’t even born when our homes were built, deciding which devices get powered – and where it will happen – can be [...]

Bionic Woman Full Trailer Released

When I got home this evening and logged onto YouTube to check my channel subscriptions, there was a big surprise waiting for me… NBC had just uploaded the full trailer for the remake of The Bionic Woman. This 4 minute, 48 second look at the new story is a real jaw dropper. The new story [...]

It’s The End of the World with Hard Drives

For my 3rd video, inspiration came to me while I was listening to my 80′s music and browsing my picture collection. When I clicked onto my head crashed hard drive pictures… the idea for my next video came to me when the song “It’s the End of the World as We Know It”, by REM [...]

The Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Photography Bag Review

If you are at work when you read this review, do not – and I repeat, do not – click on the Crumpler link until you’ve turned your computer’s speakers way down. With that said, you just haven’t lived until you’ve clicked on the site and experienced the unintelligible hillbilly yodeling which could have made [...]

The LapWorks Aluminum Desktop Stand

Not long ago I reviewed a simple black plastic swiveling laptop stand which really impressed me because it made using my Toshiba Satellite more ergonomic�as it was kept�cool. My only real complaints against that economical (<$10) solution was that it wobbled a bit, and the front retaining lip blocked the Toshiba’s SD card slot. I [...]

The BatteryGeek 130Wh External Battery Pack Review

I have had my MacBook Pro for about 6 months now, and for the most part I have been very happy with it. The one issue that has been with it from the beginning is battery life. While it may be quite a powerful laptop, the 2.5hrs battery life (I have seen less more than [...]

The Iambic Health and Diet Manager (for Pocket PC) Review

One of the factors that made me drag my feet when deciding whether or not to fully migrate from the Palm OS to Windows Mobile was that the two software titles I considered essential were only available for the Palm OS at the time: one was Beik’s Woman which I use to track “female stuff”, [...]

The Microsoft Zune 30GB Digital Media Player Review

[Ed note: This review is a collaborative effort between Jenneth, Judie and Mitchell. Jenneth's remarks will be in black, Judie's will be in italicized blue, and Mitchell's in italicized green.] Designing a music player to topple the almighty iPod isn’t a task we would wish on anyone, but if ever there was a company with [...]
