My Adventures in Vista, part 2

A little over a month ago, I noticed that there were these odd rainbow colored streaks showing up on some of my review pictures, and I couldn’t figure out why! Everything was otherwise working perfectly on my T4215, which I had recently updated to Vista Ultimate and had basically configured to perfection.

Got Vista? Upgrade Your RAM the Easy Way

I am not using Windows Vista yet, but today I learned that Microsoft did include some pretty neato enhancements to the operation system. One of those enhancements is called “ReadyBoost”. What is that you say? Well, it is the easy and low cost way to upgrade your computer operating RAM without opening your computer up [...]

The Slim-Line Presenter PLUS Review: Unlocking PowerPoint prison

With apologies to Bob Dylan, have you ever felt like you were stuck in PowerPoint prison with the presentation blues again?* Most us have seen the overabundance of slides, with 9 point type, variable mix of fonts, sound effects and motivational video clips to fly like an eagle? Then again, for every 100 misuses of [...]

WMDC is Pathetic

Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) is truly pathetic. After beating on it for weeks I have come to the conclusion they have done nothing but dress up the already miserable ActiveSync. Let me just rant about the useless and frustrating error messages. Those of you who have seen 0x8000E0DF know exactly what I’m talking about. [...]

Doug’s Dream Device

As the owner of a Tapwave Zodiac, I’m pretty far behind the curve (or way ahead, depending on how you look at it) with regard to PDA/handheld/UMPC/convergent device development. I love these gadgets, mind you, but the last time I went to buy one I found such a dearth of Palm OS devices (you can [...]

Protection from Unwanted RFID Readers

I like the idea of RFID technology – being able to quickly pass an embedded item near a reader for immediate access or payment, but there are certain uses that make me nervous – like having an RFID embedded in my passport or other ID that contains most if not all of my personal documentation.

Behind the Scenes with echo

As part of joining the crew at GearDiary.com, I signed on to be the techie behind the scenes.  As luck would have it, Judie sent me a laundry list of issues that she wanted resolved.:-)  So, off I went into the log files to start sniffing around.  The first thing I noticed was that the [...]

The HTC Hermes / Dopod 838Pro Review

Many of you by now will recognize the name HTC as the abbreviation for the Taiwanese based company High Tech Computer. They are the world’s largest manufacturer of Pocket PC and Smartphone OS based PDAs, and as such they are responsible for many of the more recognizable devices which are rebranded by companies including Hewlett-Packard, [...]

Hermes Teasers

This post was created for Mitchell Oke, but hopefully many of you will enjoy the Hermes eye-candy… There is a 0.1 megapixel video camera on the front which may also be used for low resolution self portraits. The silver bar across the top toggles to select email or Pocket Internet Explorer; these buttons are remappable. [...]

The Universal Dilemma

I’ve been using the HTC Universal (branded as an i-mate JasJar) for almost a year. This in itself has been a bit out of the norm, because many of the PDAs I’ve owned haven’t lasted near as long. Let’s go tripping down memory lane, shall we? The first pen-based (or stylus entry) Personal Digital Assistant that I remember buying [...]
